They look fine to me!  Maybe you just weren't expecting the style of
"smart-quotes" used by Courier?  Just in case we're all crazy: what you
should see for opening quotes is a (pair of) short diagonal stroke(s) where
the weight is concentrated in the bottom of the stroke(s).  The closing
quotes have the weight concentrated in the top of the stroke(s).
