My hunch is that Emacs displays the correct (Unicode) characters, but that you don't have a suitable font (set). As a first approach, put point on one of those little boxes and enter M-x describe-char What happens? You might want to install a more complete font. Unless you *want* to have (non-ascii) Unicode characters displayed as \u2018, that is. In that case... there should be an option for that, but I'd have to look it up, sorry. regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlbZa30ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZUlACZAVPuFlji5SgXEUo2yRMRCEID zmkAnRp6lhmISA2Knk4QBPlIOj896JFK =am1f -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
