The version that Dov mentions is the same one that shipped with FrameMaker 7.0.
Joel, try this: Change your magnification to 800% and look at your Mryiad Pro quotes. You should be able to see a subtle shift in the weight between the open and close quotes. They both slant to the right, but the open quotes are bottom heavy and the close quotes are top heavy.

I typed the same text with quotes (using the standard US keyboard straight double quote - i.e., the inch character - as my double quote character) in Times New Roman, Arial, Minion Pro, and Myriad Pro. For all four lines of text with those four fonts, I achieved the proper "smart quotes" results including Myriad Pro. It shows up correctly on the screen in FrameMaker, prints correctly, and saves as PDF correctly (i.e., the proper "smart quotes" - left and right double quotes instead of an inch character appear). One thing that you should be aware of is that left and right typographical quote characters in Myriad Pro (a sans serif font) have much more subtle differences than such differences in Minion Pro (a serif font). You have to look closely to see the differences which are primarily in whether the lines are thicker at the top or bottom. This is not that unusual for san serif fonts! If that is not the issue, perhaps you are using an older version of Myriad Pro? I personally don't recall changes in Myriad Pro over the years to fix any problem of this class, but I will check on this with my expert friends in the Adobe Type Development organization. The current version of Myriad Pro, appearing with Acrobat 9 (and I believe Reader 9) and Font Folio 11 is version 2.037. The version of Myriad Pro that shipped with FrameMaker 8 is 2.007 which is probably the same version that shipped with CS3 and possibly Acrobat 8. - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: Joel Wilhelm > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 1:36 PM > > Thanks for the replies.
