I just tried gtk on my Mac (for the first time I admit...) and it behaves as I expect i.e. ' is '

This is just a guess, but it looks like whatever shell you are running is being "helpful" and upon seeing a single quote is declaring it an opening quote and using the special character (which is indeed a spelling error in j)

Perhaps this is a preference setting in the facility you are using (knowing your environment might be helpful for someone trying to reproduce the problem). I have been frustrated by that helpfulness in word processing programs...

Hi,

when I use j701gtk and enter a single quote the wrong character appears and
J says 'spelling error'.

When I do the same in j701con it works fine, so it doesn't seem to be a
keyboard mapping problem.

As far as I can see the character for U00B4 (accent aigu) is input in
j701gtk when I actually enter U0027 (apostroph).

Am I doing something wrong or is this maybe a bug?

TIA,
/Arie
