Smart Quotes pretty dumb in Gentium Basic, Minion Pro, and Auld Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and All.

[Susan Modlin]

Hmmm. I use Minion Pro, Win XP Pro, FM 7.2p158 and have no problems with smart quotes. Smart e-mails are another issue entirely <g>.

Smart 
Quotes 
is 
on 
but 
when 
I 
press 
' 
or 
", 
question 
marks 
(?) 
appear 
in 
Gentium 
Basic 
and 
Minion 
Pro 
fonts, 
not 
quotes.

Gentium 
Basic 
was 
selected 
for 
testing 
because 
it 
is 
an 
Unicode 
conforming 
font 
that 
supports 
every 
alphabet 
based 
on 
roman 
or 
cyrillic 
glyphs, 
including 
accents.  
It 
is 
developed 
and 
maintained 
by 
SIL 
(formerly 
Summer 
Institute 
of 
Linguistics) 
and 
is 
a 
high-quality 
font 
to 
support 
their 
mission 
of 
translating 
the 
Christian 
holy 
books 
into 
local 
languages 
and 
is 
complete 
within 
its 
scope.

Minion 
Pro 
was 
selected 
for 
testing 
because 
it 
is 
from 
the 
manufacturer's 
of 
FrameMaker, 
so 
you 
would 
think 
that 
the 
developers 
would 
know, 
and 
presumably 
it 
came 
packaged 
with 
one 
of 
the 
many 
Adobe 
products 
purchased 
over 
the 
years.

Apart 
from 
these, 
Smart 
Quotes 
does 
not 
work 
with 
any 
*.ps, 
*.ttf 
or 
*.otf 
font 
from 
any 
manufacturer.  
Anybody 
else 
seen 
this?  
What 
is 
the 
fix?

You 
can 
still 
insert 
the 
single 
and 
double 
quotation 
marks 
from 
the 
Character 
Map 
on 
Windows, 
but 
what 
a 
pain!

Regards,
Hedley

P.S.  
FrameMaker 
8.0p273 
(latest 
patch), 
originally 
purchased 
as 
part 
of 
Adobe 
Tech. 
Comms 
Suite.
