"Curly" apostrophe (self.latex)

submitted 1 year ago by nomadjoanne to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I was wondering if anyone here knew how to create a "curly" apostrophe in LaTeX without having to type out the unicode character for it. I know that the csquotes package is an option, but this only appears to allow making curly single and double quote pairs. I don't want quotes. I want a curly, single apostrophe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yup. It worked perfectly with pdflatex but not with xelatex. I confirmed this with other files. I'll just stick with pdflatex for now

That's interesting. I wonder why we're getting different results.

Different versions of xetex, perhaps? I'm using

XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.999992 (TeX Live 2020/Debian) (preloaded format=xelatex)

A little out of date, as I haven't got around to updating my Debian yet.

Mine a bit newer. That said, newer sometimes means buggier, the downside of being on a rolling release. I have a Debian server though. I'll install texlive and try it there maybe.
