Implementing unusual keyboard glyphs

807589Nov 22 2008 — edited Nov 22 2008
Hi everybody,
Could anyone please point me in the right direction about how to implement "smart quotes" and em dashes in Java? I want to implement automatic double smart quotes ( " " ), but "dumb" apostrophes ( ' ' ) unless I somehow explicitly tell the program to put in a particular curved single quote. Also, I want to convert two hyphens into an em dash when they're typed together.

If anyone could give me ideas on how to implement this, or point me in a good direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jezzica85
