<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div style>I am working on a two-sided wedding invitation (for my wedding) where one side is in English and the other side is in Amharic. I have the latex code written for the English side and I am now working on the Amharic side. I found an example tex file (attached) which I am not able to get to compile correctly. My hope is that if I can get this example to compile and produce a pdf correctly, I will be able to work from this example to create the backside of the invitation.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I am using Miktex 2.9 and Texworks editor. I have tried changing the typeset (through Texworks) to Xetex and XeLatex and I can't get it to compile. I've tried looking up information about creating pdfs in Amharic and this and other example tex files are as close as I've come but I can't get any of them to compile correctly. I would greatly appreciate it if someone out there can get this tex file to compile correctly and let me know how you do it. Here is the error I get:</div>
