Title: Random font troubles [SOLVED]
Post by: limeyman1992 on Tue 29/06/2010 17:07:12
Yeah it's me again. I'm having trouble with my characters speech. For some reason, some of the apostrophes are being replaced with question marks. I would understand it if it was all apostrophes but it's only some. For example, one sentance could be "You shouldn?t promise what you can't guarantee." It makes no sense... if anyone else has had the same problem and knows how to fix it I'd love to hear from you.

Probably the font set doesn't have a character for the apostrophe you're using. Try changing it quickly, then see if it works.

But he said only some of the apostrophes are displayed incorrectly  :-\

On other thought, limeyman1992, could it be you use both ' and ` symbols as apostrophe?

if you write your text in something like Word it can replace apostrophes with "smart apostrophes" which alter the direction they are facing the same way you would if you were hand writing it.

just replace the offending characters with a proper apostrophe i.e the (') character.
