This is puzzling me. If i type this in a text editor: \starttext These are 'quotes'. \starttyping let a = 'quoted string' \stoptyping \stoptext I'm using dumb quotes (hex 27). ConText renders this as this: These are ’quotes’. let a = ’quoted string’ ie the quotes have been educated - although only half-educated, since the opening one should be an opening one, if you see what I mean. But I really don't want characters in the verbatim (typing) section to change...because when you copy them from the PDF into an editor, the code listings don't work! There must be some kind of switch somewhere that stops ConteXt changing them? thanks for any help

I'm using dumb quotes (hex 27). ConText renders this as this:
These are �quotes�. let a = �quoted string�

Thanks, Hans. I'm a bit confused though: in the verbatim sections I want the vertical typewriter quote <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe_% 28mark%29#Computers_and_Unicode> rather than any '6' or '9' style quotation mark apostrophe. I can see the difference in most of the fonts I have here. In Courier, for example, the difference is about 25 degrees of slope, and the inclined quotation mark is lower down too. So perhaps I should rephrase my question: how can I keep the vertical ' that I type into typing sections without it getting converted to a curvy quote ’...? many thanks for any help

Thanks Hans - I'm happy for it to be considered a problem - that's the first step towards getting a solution :-)...
