FM 10, Win 7, AvenirNext LT Pro font for Table Body and Sans Pro Source for
text body. (Required by the client).

For Table Body:
I can get straight double quotes inserted just fine, but I want curly
quotes. With  Smart Quotes turned off, I am trying to insert curly double
quotes in the file. For the left curly double quote, I use the command of
CTRL+q R and the quote is double, but it is still facing the wrong direction
- it looks like a right curly double quote. For the right curly double
quote, I use the command of CTRL+q S and that appears just fine.  So, I
tried with Smart Quotes turned on just and no go. . . the same result.

FWIW, when using the Sans Pro Source font , with Smart Quotes turned on, I
can get proper facing curly quotes no problem.

Why would the font make a difference and any advice about getting curly
quotes to work with the required Table Font would be sincerely appreciated.
