Sorry, the joke went right past me. I was drawing the distinction between a crashing bug in something that you build and give/sell to others, which is as bad as it gets, and a crashing bug that causes the IDE to die while you're developing software. That's bad too, but not nearly as bad.

The existing report builder in rev 2.2 is basically a label maker or card printer. It does not have any design tools. If you want to print a PDF form or even print some data on top of an existing form it would be very difficult (no positioning tools for field outputs). There is also no way to add

Hi Tuviah, OK just fixed this, don't panic. Support for long files names from 'answer file' was added in 2.2 as per request (so you can now choose files which are really, really long on OSX). we needed to convert from UTF8 to ASCII. I've posted a quick update, should be available shortly.

Something is happening for sure and it does point to Rev. The curly quote for the font I'm in shows clearly in the InDesign gliphs palette as assigned GID 210, This is the same ASCII code one will get if you actually type a curly quote in a Rev field itself and query for its ASCII code.
