Caslon font looks completely different in the English and Russian versions of the same document
I am working with a writer, whose requirement is to typeset a book in Latex, in Caslon font. In the English version everything is hunky-dory:
documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{memoir}
usepackage{librecaslon}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
lipsum[1]
end{document}
But there is also a requirement to translate and typeset the text into Russian, and here there is a problem. The font is not even close to Caslon, and everything shifts even before the translation:
documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{memoir}
usepackage{librecaslon}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[main=russian]{babel}
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
lipsum[1]
end{document}
I am using TexLive 2018 on a Fedora 26 machine. Can anyone please explain, how both versions can be rendered in the exact same font?

In LaTeX, this font is not supported in Russian language. That is the reason, and you can only use a different font, or provide a Russian version for the font. Read more here.

You should tell Babel that you want to use both English and Russian and then indicate for different text fragments which language it is, i.e.,usepackage[english,russian]{babel}and thenbegin{otherlanguage}{english}lipsum[1]end{otherlanguage}(see, e.g., tex.stackexchange.com/questions/20987/…).
