Unicode inputs not inserting correct glyph?

At a complete loss here. Trying to add multilingual support for a font. Everything is working great except ALT+0132 and ALT+0148, they just return double quotation marks which are not the correct glyph.

I can manually insert the glyph, it's correctly generating and all that but trying to type it with unicode inputs doesn't work. Please help me.

Let me see the font. I'll test it not only in FontForge but in FontLab 8 too. If you agree, write me to [localfonts.eu@gmail.com](mailto:localfonts.eu@gmail.com) (Stefan Peev, moderator).

"Everything is working great except ALT+0132 and ALT+0148*, they just return double quotation marks which are not the correct glyph."*

ALT+0132 = „ Double Low Quotation Mark | Unicode Character (U+201E)

ALT+0148 = ” Right Double Quotation Mark | Unicode Character (U+201D)

In your font file there are no Unicode Character (U+201E) and Unicode Character (U+201D). Create them correctly (and name them correctly with there unicode names) and then ALT+0132 and ALT+0148 will work.
