I'm trying to compile a document that has both English and Greek text.
I tried with polyglossia which uses the correct hyphenation for each
language but ignores my selection for the English font (and not for

greatly increased if it contained all the image processing capabilities needed
for every type of figure. XeTeX development is done by a very few people,
but if you draw on 3rd party image processing tools you benefit from
me warning if different versions of
fonts are being used at different stages, but I suppose this could get
very noisy with the common practice of having at least 3 very
different fonts all claiming to be Helvetica-Italic, so perhaps it needs

advantages of pdf is the huge number of pdf creators who have
never heard of TeX but drive development of tools such as pdftk

coordinates. Many GUI "write" programs include
a glyph search tool, and standalone tools are available
for Linux and Mac OS X. To use them you will need to
install the fonts as "system fonts

The TeX ecosystem needs some reasonable limits on how long old versions
should be supported. If users can't get adequate support from their
distro there
are better supported alternatives.
