<pre>Description:
It's hard to show you the problem using the actual characters because of the
fonts in use. The apostrophe and double apostrophe used in quotation marks was
previously "smart" and used a curved symbol similar to a comma. Now they are
just vertical slashes. The font is Liberation Serif, font size 12 point.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2.Set "Liberation Serif" as the font for default style
3. Use quotes ( " ) or apostrophes ( ' )
Actual Results:
The quotes and apostrophes are significantly different, they are not curved to
indicate start or end of a quote, and this is actually a loss of functionality
and quality from the previous release.
Expected Results:
A curved "smart" symbol as noted above.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I tried cloning styles from the portion of my document written in the old
release, and applying the styles to the new text, and it did not apply the
"smart" functionality and curved symbols. I'm not a smart computer guy, but I
need this to go back the way it was in the previous release, but I like the new
release and do not want to go to the older version to get my preferred
functionality back. Please contact me via e-mail to ask questions or tell me
what you think. Thank you!</pre>
