Can someone tell me which font uses the 'correct' format of the inverted commas? That is the opening and the closing double commas?
Failing that, which font uses two identical dashes,neither opening or closing.
Thanks

I think it would be easier to answer which ones don't!
I wonder if a more expensive keyboard would have what you ask for?
TNR definitely uses them. They are on the Number 2 key. As long as you type some words in between they will automatically change to the proper closing ones ata the end.
Hold down the alt key and type 0145 (make sure the numlock is on), that will give you one ‘
Most fonts contain both variants. A lot of sans serif fonts have the II as default keyboard quotes, and serif fonts like Times have the 66 99 curly quotes.

But most fonts can do both if you known the keyboard shortcut.

Standard keyboard shortcuts for quotes:

Alt+0145 = left single quotation mark
Alt+0146 = right single quotation mark
Alt+0147 = left double quotation mark
Atl+0148 = right double quotation mark
