Fancy quotes on Windows
Hi, I don't use Windows as my primary OS anymore, so didn't notice this until recently. In R-2.10.0 under Windows useFancyQuotes is FALSE by default, but this doesn't seem to affect the rendering of (text) help pages. This is not a problem if I run via the Rgui or Rterm (via DOS prompt), as the help pages are rendered in a popup window that understands directional quotes. However, if I run under emacs/ESS, the help is rendered within emacs, which doesn't understand directional quotes, so any quoted text is surrounded by \221thetext\222, which is obviously difficult to read. Is there another setting that I am missing that affects the usage of directional quotes for the help pages? Thanks, Jim
