[XeTeX] specifying two fonts

[Nathan Sidoli]

There are various ways you can do this.

If I were doing it, I would probably put something like the following in 
the preamble:

\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{MainFont}
\newfontfamily{\G}[Scale=1]{GreekFont}%
\newfontfamily{\C}[Scale=1]{ChineseFont}%

And then in the text I would put all Greek text in a {\G } and all 
Chinese text in a {\C }, that way, if you want to change the font later 
on, you can just toggle the fonts in the preamble. This gives you the 
option of changing the main font independently of the Greek font. Also, 
you may want to scale the fonts a bit so they look good together.
