Fontlab and screen fonts

neue01

If anyone can help, I seem to be having a propblem when I generate fonts out of fontlab. Once the font is created I end up with a problem regarding my quotation marks. They work well enough in adobe illustrator, indesign and photoshop but they do not seem to work in apple keynote or powerpoint. This makes me think that the problem is with the screen font. Does anybody have any clue how to remedy this situation?

> I end up with a problem regarding my quotation marks

Could you gives us the glyph names and Unicode values you’re using for those?

Do you have smart (curly) quotes on in some applications but not in others? If so, do you have both curly quotes and typewriter (straight) quotes in the font?

Not to mention, what font format are you using?

Cheers,

T
