Yes, I definitely did. I noticed in the PDF it said "(his emphasis)"
following a quotation, and I shrugged, because it was all cursive.

But then I tested it in a simple case and there it works.

Thanks to your input, I managed to trace this down to a stupidity
deep down in the .cls file I have to use, where \emph{} was
redefined.

I am sorry that I spammed the list without providing all the details
or running a simple test case.

Thank you for your patience.
