 * Hello, I use Verdana font for my website and I noticed when I submit a post or
   page or even a comment it replaces my quotation marks and apostrophes with different
   ones. The new ones tend to be curved and run into my text. Any ideas?

 * It’s part of the formatting features in WordPress (what’s known as the `wptexturize`
   function). You can turn this off by commenting out any of the add_filter lines
   in wp-includes/default-filters.php that use wptexturize, or by editing the function
   in wp-includes/functions-formatting.php.
 * Another, fancier option is to use a plugin to control text formatting:
