I didn't try printing it; but PageMaker does its own letter-spacing, so I
can't imagine that it would come out differently.  I tried the same thing
again and can give exact directions: type in centered 36-point Courier.

I have not yet switched to system 6.0.7, so this may be the problem.  I will
switch shortly and re-try it.

The quotes aren't backwards.  They only LOOK backwards in small point sizes.
It's an annoying problem, but it's the sort of problem that's always going
to crop up in generating very small screen fonts from outline font data...
Only a human designer can ever get that exactly right.
