Issue reading words with apostrophe in specific application #11

Open pemartins1 opened 6 years ago

pemartins1 commented 6 years ago

Festival is not able to read words with apostrophe from Akregator due to the character Akregator uses for apostrophe. Festival sticks to spelling the word.

In example read with Festival the following text copied from Akregator: ruled in Punk’s favor

Now read the same text with the regular apostrophe from the keyboard: ruled in Punk's favor

If you zoom in you'll be able to see that the characters are slightly different.

So, if possible, I ask for you to add the character in the first phrase to be recognized as an apostrophe, please.
