It should be easy enough, we should only be posting one paragraph of an article anyway.

Of course, you have to examine the text to be quoted to try and determine what the character was supposed to be in the first place.

I assume this would be noted in Preview, correct?

I find (using a Mac) that even typing a quotation mark is no go. I have to resort to HTML commands to display quote symbols.

So what changed?

Why is this happening?

Is there a fix?

You can copy the text into a text editor like Notepad to replace smart quotes (”curly” quotes), smart apostrophes (”curly” apostrophes), and em dashes (long dashes) with regular quotes, regular apostrophes, and double dashes respectively. You can bulk replace by copying your post into Notepad and using the “Replace All” command.

It never happens to me in posts. It happens only on the FR Forum page.

My opinion is that it is a browser conflict. I think that FR is written for browsers other than IE.

These bad fonts stem from cutting and pasting apostrophes (’) and quotation marks (”).

Vertical works okay. It’s the slanted variety that has been giving trouble.

it’s not just quotes and apostrophes: there’s a whole bunch of other special characters that are being hosed.
