Are you aware of the other enhancements needed for
intl
quotes? French needs to map smart quotes to
« guillemettes » but also with unbreakable
half-spaces!
But then if the font doesn't have the guillemette
characters should it try to map them to << this >> or
just plain old square quotes?
We may or may not need some special code to draw half
spaces, quarter spaces etc for the cases when the font
doesn't claim to have them. Being spaces we don't
actually render anything.
Well something to think about for you. It's all in
the
smart quote RFE I think if you look it up.
Andrew.
