- I have gone so far as to use ARexx to send the characters at positions 1-255
- to Final Writer in consecutive order. Even using a postscript font that I
- *know* contains the typographic quotes and the position of them (usually 169-
- 170), the result has been that to postscript, the quotes *are* *not*
- *printed*. To non-postscript what gets printed are horribly blocky things that
- are no use at all.
-
- Woody himself has said *in* *this* *newsgroup* that Final Writer does not
- support typographic quotes. I fail to understand why you folks refuse to
- accept the word of the person that wrote the program.
