Default Straight quotes not being replaced with smart quotes

Are you possibly using a font that doesn't have the curly-quote
characters at all? If you type (using the regular keyboard) 201c
followed by Alt-X, and 201d followed by Alt-X, do you see the curly
quotes? (Those are the Unicode codes for those characters.)

Some old fonts, and many display fonts, don't include them.

I have it turned on to replace them automatically but it won't do it, even
using the normal style. Any ideas why?
