I choose the phonetic Russian alphabet in Preferences, and switch back and forth between that and English. Here’s the minimum working example (having chosen in TeXShop’s Preferences to use UTF-8):<div><br></div><div><div>% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode</div><div>\documentclass[11pt]{article}</div><div>\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}</div><div>\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}</div><div>\usepackage[russian,english]{babel}</div><div>\begin{document}</div><div>\selectlanguage{russian}</div><div>брест\textbf{и}, брод\textbf{и}ть</div><div>\selectlanguage{english}</div><div>to roam, wander (\emph{501 Russian Verbs}, p.\,15)</div><div>\end{document}</div><div><br></div><div>I like to see the Russian in my source.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div>David Derbes</div><div>U of Chicago Laboratory Schools</div><div><br></div><div><div>On Feb 22, 2015, at 10:55 AM, Herbert Schulz <<a href="mailto:herbs@wideopenwest.com">herbs@wideopenwest.com</a>> wrote:</div><div><br></div><i>Howdy,<br><br>Not if you actually save your file using UTF-8 Unicode encoding! </i></div><div><i><br>TeXShop used to use Mac OS Roman encoding as default and recent versions use Latin9 encoding as default.
