Here's the fix for the CloseCurlyQuote "bug" (thanks to tech support): ============ ``In SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/UnicodeCharacters.tr, look for the entries for 2018 and 2019. They are, presently... 0x2018 \[OpenCurlyQuote] ($['$ $‘$) Open -10 None 0 0 0x2019 0x2019 \[CloseCurlyQuote] ($]'$ $’$) Close -10 None 0 0 Change them to... 0x2018 \[OpenCurlyQuote] ($['$ $‘$) Letter 0x2019 \[CloseCurlyQuote] ($]'$ $’$) Letter Now delete caches and restart. '' =============== (Note: I've noticed--since 5.0--that editing .tr files with Mathematica ruins them, because they're turned into notebooks. Twice now I've had to restore a .tr file from the CD, and then do the editing with a text editor.) ----- Selwyn Hollis http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis On Friday, August 29, 2003, at 10:51 AM, David Park wrote: > Selwyn, > > The CloseCurlyQuote bug does sometimes happen in Windows98. > > David Park > djmp at earthlink.net > http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ > > > From: Selwyn Hollis [mailto:selwynh at earthlink.net] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > > The first of these --- the (not) rotated text bug --- has not been > fixed either. > > Another bizarre bug has popped up in 5.0: In text cells, lines are > sometimes broken after apostrophes.
