[Flashcoders] Can I display slanted quotes in a textField?

[Paul Freedman]

I've never dealt too carefully with the appearance of text. As a developer, 
that was always the designer's problem. Fortunately, I've always worked with 
designers who accommodated my - and Flash's - limitations, and let me import 
.txt files and re-create their formatting as best I could using TextFormat 
objects.

Now, I'm importing poems from Word .docx files. The poet has used slanted 
quotes and apostrophes. He's mighty picky about the appearance of his work. 
I'll point out that I'm already passing the txt through a routine that strips 
the carriage-returns, leaving only the linefeeds, so that I get proper line 
distribution. I can substitute normal ascii vertical quotes, etc, but he likes 
the way it looks as he did it. 

Short of making jpgs of his pages (and there are 1000 of them), can I display 
them as he wishes? 

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul Freedman
