Text Formatting ⇒ How to make a new command for ligature?

[giby]

Hello,

In a text (My PhD thesis) I'd like to insert quotations, with a specific font with ligatures "st" and "ct".
If I insert the command:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[oldstyle]{kpfonts}

I get the font I'd like.... but in the whole document....

how to use it only in the sentences I want?

I tried \newcommand, but I haven't found how it should be written to make it work.... (I should be too stupid to find it by myself)

Are you using kpfonts in the remainder of the thesis (only without the fancy ligatures), or a completely different font altogether?

[giby]

I (have to) use an other font... (Actually I haven't found the official style, but I will have to respect it)

I just wanna have an old style with ligature for quotation from "literature"... to make a differance between a sentence for "the little prince" or some poetic verse, to explain biological result....
and I don't use xetex ...

Try using {\fontfamily{jkpos}\selectfont Text you want in KeplerFonts-old-style here}. E.g., here's an example of having body text in Times with a KP-old-style quotation:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[letterpaper]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,french]{babel}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{txfonts}

\begin{document}

    Here is some normal text for comparison.

    \begin{quote}
    {\fontfamily{jkpos}\selectfont J'ai ainsi vécu seul, sans personne avec qui parler véritablement, jusqu'à une panne dans le désert du Sahara, il y a six ans. Quelque chose s'était cassé dans mon moteur, Et comme je n'avais avec moi ni méchanicien, ni passagers, je me préparai à essayer de réussir, tout seul, une réparation difficile. C'était pour moi une question de vie ou de mort. J'avais à peine de l'eau à boire pour huit jours.}
\end{quote}

And here is some more normal text.
\end{document}

That's not a very robust solution and may involve some further tricks if things get more complicated.
