Quotation marks in plex-mono #514

Hello, quotation marks using Plex Mono are the following:

”

They should be:

"

Very annoying when using for code. Thank you!

The standard single and double quotes in IBM Plex Mono are straight forms.
Not sure what is the culprit in your case, but it is not the font.

The issue doesn't occur when importing the font locally or using other fonts. Please try this code, I think you will understand:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{plex-mono}

\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
	"My citation"
\end{verbatim}
	
\end{document}

You can compare it to the Google Font here.

@TheJoffrey In all TeX variations " will be replaced with ” per default. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Text_Formatting#Quote-marks

You will need to find a solution to instead produce the straight quotes, which depends on whether you are using LaTeX, XeLaTex, or LuaTeX, and on which packages you are using. This question is best placed in a TeX-centric forum like, e.g., https://tex.stackexchange.com/, since it has nothing to do with the font you are using, and thus is not a Plex problem.

@TheJoffrey What plex-mono package are you referring you? And what is fontspec?
Are you using the Plex Mono fonts from this repository?

As @akulisch already noted: your problem might be somewhere downstream.

Please explain as elaborately as possible your use case, the environment you’re using (OS, applications, etc.) and how you are accessing the fonts in question. Thanks!

As I said it only happens using the plex-mono package, and not when importing font using fontspec. So it does look like a Plex package issue.

@TheJoffrey This is still not specific enough to understand the issue I’m afraid. We are font developers, not package managers or LateX users.
Please describe step by step – and as elaborate as possible – how to replicate the problem you’re describing.

A search for \usepackage{plex-mono} led me to the following repository:
https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/plex (Note that this is not an IBM affiliated repository.)

The README of that repository contains the following:

This is the README for the plex package, version 2022-09-23.

[...]

The nomap option to plex-mono will suppress the tex-text
mapping of TeX "smart quotes" and other ligatures into
unicode glyphs for xeLaTeX and luaLaTeX.

[...]

There is the answer to this issue.
