Dear Will and Ross,
Thanks for your help regarding smart quotes in Leopard. I now see that
what I thought was a feature of xetex in Tiger was just a quirk
regarding the encoding of Hoefler Text in Tiger. That's too bad, as it
was really useful to just be able to type "blah" and have smart quotes
just work. In my ordinary latex work (e.g. where I have heavy
mathematical work) I type ``blah'' and get smart quotes to come out---
this is less attractive in the source code, and makes for a hassle
when copy/pasting to e.g. Keynote. Using the [Mapping=tex-text] option
in fontspec works well in Leopard, provided I convert back to
``blah''. So I will continue like this. Thanks for all your help: I
now understand what's going on.
Best,
Andy
