Hi I would like to have apostrophes ( ' ) and commas ( " something " )
those are called double-quotes in English

This has nothing to do with fonts, as Joram already said. The question
is how to enter the proper characters – sadly, there are very few
keyboard layouts that conveniently handle them. (I use Neo2, which is
optimised for German text.)
One possibility is using a character map program. More convenient is
using Frescobaldi’s ‘Special characters’ panel, if you are using
Frescobaldi.
Also, on Windows you can access a number of special characters by various
Alt + <four-digit code on number block>
combinations, e.g.
Alt + 0132 -> „
Alt + 0145 -> ‘
Alt + 0146 -> ’
Alt + 0147 -> “
Alt + 0148 -> ”
Alt + 0150 -> –
For more information, see <https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgolette> and
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Keyboards>.
It’s great that you’re interested in using the typographical characters!
They are so much more beautiful :-)
Best, Simon
