That seems like a better solution to me. There could be a `display-matching-single-quotes' function that various modes could call to make sure things were setup appropriately for natural-language text (and it could even be made to work on other platforms if desirable). I'm still confused by the connection with `standard-display-european' though... -Miles -- A zen-buddhist walked into a pizza shop and said, "Make me one with everything."
