Alas, it isn't :-) Or why is it that the discussion you pointed me at (Danke!) quickly strayed from the topic, got hotter than useful and seems to have lead to no result regarding the original problem? > A problem exists *only* with these four typefaces: > > Courier (New), Comic Sans MS, Tahoma, Verdana > > All, *All*, *ALL* other typefaces agree that > > -- U+2018 is a rotated apostrophe U+2019 > -- U+201B is a mirrored apostrophe U+2019 > > Only the above four typefaces have wrong glyphs at position U+2018, > namely glyphs that actually belong into U+201B. What I want to show (and what is meant here, as far as I understand it) http://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2006-m06/0030.html is something different. I suspected and tried to anticipate this by including a Verdana example, and only made the explanation more complex. Then again, Kenneth Whistler surmised that U+201F would probably have got no code point in 2006 http://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2006-m06/0300.html so today U+201B and U+201F would possibly not be encoded at all but treated as glyph variants. The real error may be that U+0022 is not neutral in relation to design of the rest of the font. Michael
