- Does anyone have details or explanations about this problem?
-
- I found that NS 3.0 understands the \mac charset directive in rtf
- documents now, and does a reasonable job of converting the characters.
- However, I also found that it strangely mapped the Mac's open and close
- single printer's quotes, not to proper curley quotes on the NeXT,
- but instead to the accent and neuter quote. The end result is that if
- you used normal single quotes on the Mac, you get curley ones on the
- NeXT, and if you use curley ones on the Mac, you get the strange
- mac-normal ones on the NeXT.
-
- What am I misunderstanding?
