You are completely right. That is why a mailing list like this is useful.

Wrong is maybe not the correct word, but when compiling this code:
\starttext
` Backtick\crlf
' Apostrophe\crlf
‘ Open curly quote\crlf
’ Close curly quote
‘some quoted text’
“some doublequoted text”
\setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt]
‘some quoted text’
“some doublequoted text”
\stoptext
Then I find the font from palatino better looking, but the default quotes
better as the palatino's.
I have to change all my ‘quotes’ again.
Attached my Xmopdmap.extra which incorperates these single and double
quotes.
