[Framers] Curly Quote conundrum

[Victoria Muir]

Well.. as someone who functions primarily as a designer, this doesn't sound so crazy to me – some fonts have godawful quote marks. But couldn't they be replaced/have a  character style applied  at the last minute using a Grep search or something?

    As Heiko pointed out, you're actually getting curly quotes, you just
    don't like the subtle way the font designer drew them.
    
    I'd live with it or change fonts. Overriding certain glyphs with
    another font is crazy.
