Text Formatting ⇒ Spacing issue with quotes

[peaches2165]

Hi,

I am typesetting an article using the phrase

``only if" and ``if"

There is an issue with the end quote if" being to close to the "f". I've already tried"

if\ \! - this separates the space between the i and the f.

I also tried ``if'' and that did nothing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Peaches

Hi Peaches,

with \/ as separator, which actually means italic correction, it looks ok for me.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
``only if\/" and ``if\/" 
\end{document}

Do you know package csquotes? It sets quotation marks automatically, based on the language used.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[autostyle=true]{csquotes}
\usepackage[french,german,english]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{c}
``only if\/" and ``if\/" \\
\enquote{only if}\\
\selectlanguage{french}
\enquote{only if}\\
\selectlanguage{german}
\enquote{only if}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
