Simple question: using xetex style \font statements how do I get curly quotes from texexec --xtx book.tex?

Is the answer different for texexec --lua book.tex?

Do you mean \quotation{something} that should work out of the box or the curly quote as in "I'm"? If you are talking about the "I'm" case: 1.) in XeTeX you need to use \font\a="Font Name;mapping=tlig" (or mapping=tex-text, but it might be that tex-text is missing in minimals; not sure). 2.) It's differet in luatex, but I don't know it by heart; it something like \font\a=fontname*default (or fontname*myfeatures + you need to define trep=yes in myfeatures: \definefontfeature[myfeatures][tlig=yes,trep=yes]). But please wait for a better answer and explanation. Mojca

It appears to me that there are significant changes to the font handling in Luatex. There may be other changes. I am looking for any comprehensive guidance that would supplement or even supplant the 2001 Context documentation for users. -- John Culleton

I believe that you are making a comparison between pdftex+context mkii and luatex It's wrong . The right comparison is between pdftex+context mkii, xetex+mkii, luatex+mkiv
