I'm a bit confused about the handling of foreign fonts whether via
babel or other means.
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
\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?
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.
