I have tried various fonts, including charterbt, calibri (ttf) and so on. I get the called-for font but the sequences for curly double quotes, in use since Ramses II, give me either two back ticks followed by two forward ticks, (calibri) or two back ticks followed by an inch symbol (charterbt). So this defect is not limited to one font. My main file is as follows:
\input macros.tex
\environment macros
\usemodule [simplefonts] \setmainfont [calibri] \starttext \input body.tex \stoptext
and macros.tex looks like this:
\startenvironment macros
\setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[bok][width=7.0in,height=10.0in] %\setuppapersize[bok][letter] \setuppapersize[bok][bok] \setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]% \setupwhitespace[line] \setuptyping[style=small]
\stopenvironment
Anyone else have this problem?
Learn to make a minimal *working* example, this works:
\usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Calibri] \starttext “quoted text” \stoptext

Thanks for your reply. Are you telling me that \input foo no longer works the way it used to? Let me simplify the example: ----------------------------------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[bok][width=7.0in,height=10.0in] \setuppapersize[bok][bok] \usemodule [simplefonts] \setmainfont [georgia] \starttext Here is ``foo''. \stoptext --------------------------------- I still get the same wrong results. In a ttf font like georgia the close quote looks OK but the open quote are two left tick marks. In Bitstream Charter the close quote is the inch sign and the open quote is again two left tick marks. So my original question remains: Why do the double quote codes not work as they have since the days of plain tex? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
