I have understand this, but I am still looking for docus to the
'fonthandler'-commands, becaus I don't
understand how this mechanism works.

The  reason, why I am interesting in fonthandlers, was: To correct the
lowerleftdoubleninequote-problem with cmr.
To be honest, I am asking myself why this is not working out of the box,
because cmr is TeX's standardfont.

in that case: grep the base path for guillemots since these are implemented by means of fonthandlers in the aer fonts; with regards to quotes, it may make sense to switch from cmr to aer; also, there is the latin modern coming, which will bring you all the quotes and chars you need [the latin modern family is officially launched at the next dante meeting]
