Hi, I need guillemots instead of lowerleftdouble- and upperrightdoublequotes in the German environment. On my minimal installation (Linux) I managed to change that by editing the cont-sys.tex file in texmf-local/tex/context/user. At work, on a Mac with gwTeX, nothing I tried had any effect: editing the cont-sys.tex file (in texmf.pkgs/tex/context/user) copying cont-sys.tex to texmf.texlive/tex/context/user editing the lang-ger.tex files (in texmf.pkgs or texmf.texlive) Thanks for the help, Jörg PS 1: I didn't forget texhash PS 2: It's the first time I have to use the German environment. Are lowerleftquotes and quotations really still used? To me they look strange -- at least in a scientific text. And my publisher doesn't want them either (ok, he is Swiss).
