Text Formatting ⇒ Hyphenation of quoted words

[Laurentius]

Redefining quotation marks so they come with traditional spacing ruins hyphenation:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\hyphenation{re-aliza-tion}

\begin{document}
or ontification, in which being and mode come together, is the crucial ‘realization’ that seems to follow from Aristotle's definition.

or ontification, in which being and mode come together, is the crucial ‘re\-aliza\-tion’ that seems to follow from Aristotle's definition.

\newcount\c
\catcode`‘=\active
\def‘{\string‘\kern 1pt}
\catcode`’=\active
\def’{\c=\spacefactor\kern 1pt\string’\spacefactor=\c}

% the redefined quotation marks ruin hyphenation:
