LyX ⇒ PROBLEM No space after inverted commas

Hello,

I am preparing a pdf file with Lyx, using XeTex, book (Memoir) and the following preamble:

Run LaTeX here

When making the pdf, most of the times the space after an inverted comma is virtually zero, making it very ugly (see the attached image as a reference).
I wonder if this is a default behavior related to some arcane typographic rule or if it is due to some conflict between packages.
I would like to solve the problem without having to manually add protected space.
Thank you,

Clemens

Hi, i think we need a bit more details.
You have told us the documentclass, but i have absolutely no idea how you are getting those glyphs. Is this a cite command? Are you doing this using a macro? Is it completely done by hand?

Please try to prepare a minimal LyX example and export it to LaTeX. That way we can test within a second and provide solutions or workarounds. If the problem at hand has nothing to do with the font Times New Roman, please leave it out.

Hello,

thank you for your kind reply. I am using Lyx with XeTex, exporting to PDF (XeTex)
Although I am not new to Lyx, I still consider myself a newbie. This is actually the first minimal working sample that I create, I hope it is alright.
The culprit seems to be xeCJK, but I have no idea on how to modify its behavior to make it work properly.
Cheers
