Non-Curley Quotes for XPRO 3-2?

Hi All,

Enclosed ASCII Codes for a US Keyboard - Not sure how the UK keyboard differs, but it may be a starting point. If anyone has an old MS-DOS manual, all the ASCII codes are listed there. Hope this helps.

The ASCII codes show the standard character set. To the best of my knowledge, whether they show as curly quotes or straight quotes depends on the font. Typically a serif font will show them as curly quotes and a sans serif font will show them as straight quotes. I stand to be corrected, but that's how I understand it.

true that quotes itself has ASCII [decimal 34] but not separate one for straight quotes

and you are right of course that the font could have straight quotes instead of curly - could also have both if straight quotes replaces one of the other extended set characters

Ok, the codes I was thinking of are ANSI rather than ASCII. Try the following in your typeface of choice: 034, 039, 0145, 0146, 0147, 0148.

Naturally, Unicode is a whole different ball game.

agreed those codes [with ALT and using numpad with numlock on as you said] will give the curly quotes that are set in the typeface [or straight if that is how the font has been built] using xarapro
