<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">I'm a bit confused about the handling of foreign fonts whether via babel or other means.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Let me be specific. Suppose in a work (in this case, documentstyle{book}, but I imagine this is irrelevant) I want to include some quotations or reference titles in languages with different alphabets, like Greek or Russian. I presume I need to put in the preface something like</DIV><DIV>\usepackage[greek, russian, english(?)]{babel}. How do I tell LaTeX that the default language is English, and how do I indicate (and delimit) the text in one of the other fonts?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I wanted to include a quotation in greek, but the \usepackage[greek]{babel} command set the whole work in greek, while \textgreek{} was not recognized by the program. I also foresee similar problems with cyrillic and, possibly, Chinese or Japanese.<BR><DIV> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Zbigniew Nitecki</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Department of Mathematics</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Tufts University</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Medford, MA 02155</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">telephones:</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Office<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-tab"> </SPAN></SPAN>(617)627-3843</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Dept.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-tab"> </SPAN></SPAN>(617)627-3234</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Dept. fax<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-tab"> </SPAN></SPAN>(617)627-3966</FONT></P> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
