Help with quotation marks

[andyapc]

Help! I did a layout using Goodfish font. I couldn't get the 2nd set of quotation marks to face the right way! Here is the link:

The quotation marks after "Daddy" are facing the wrong way.

Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks!

maybe select the marks and mirror them? I am not sure of any other way.

I forgot to add that I'm working in DIP9, if that helps. How do you "mirror" something?

[valeri]

Oh.. sorry, I don't know. I have never used DIP9. I am a PSP gal.

Did you ever get this figured out?
Try typing [ and holding the option key for “ and then option & shift for ”.
I'm using a mac, but on a pc it should be the same, I think.
Hope this helps :)

On a PC hold down the "Alt" key and with it pressed, use the number pad and type 0147. That will give you “ quotes to begin. To end, do the same - Alt and 0148, which will give you ” closing quotes. BUT, not all fonts have these extras - so sometimes I highlight just the quote marks and change the font for them - For Windows, use the Start button, go to Programs, Accessories, System Tools - you'll see a character map. If you select the character you want to use it will tell you the "Alt" key to use - or you can copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into your text in DIP.

Here's a good example of you get what you pay for! Free fonts often do not have all the punctuation, optional characters, and other necessary things that commercial fonts come with. True type grade fonts are really nice to work with, but I can't afford them!
Free fonts are fun and plentiful, and frequently have little quirks like this.
Try the ASCII characters like Pam mentioned, or change the font for those characters. You can even make a new layer with the problem quotes on it, rasterize, then flip it over to make it look good.

Good luck!
