What kind of running text? If the text is in another language,
then it has to be quoted with {zoi}, and it can use any alphabet.
No lerfu shifts involved. If it is lojban text written in an
alternative alphabet, then it is simply written in that alphabet,
no lerfu shifts will be involved either. {mi klama le zarci} written
using the Greek alphabet will be written with Greek letters, but
the cmavo {ge'o} will not appear anywhere, nor for that matter
the cmavo {my}, {i}, {bu}, {ky}, {ly}, etc.

Certainly.
