Jonathan, check that you have the useUnicode property set to true in your handler, as it's clear that the code for curly quotes (2019) is way up above the 127-255 range that numtochar will support without unicode enabled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark_glyphs
I've not had to dig into unicode yet, so I don't know too much more, but it's a recurring theme for community members, so the archives may be useful. Best, Keith.. On 2 Sep 2011, at 20:28, J.
