my calibre viewer is set to courier new ( I may have done that a while ago for some obscur reason) there is no reset to default option. what is the default setting , on a fresh install; . what do you recommend I set it to, so that it looks similar to what I see on Kindle , please

UPDATE this explanation is not right - I checked another books in my library & it did display WITH curly quotes in calibre viewer. is there more than 1 kind of curly quotes ??? - went back just now to copy n post proof but can't remember which random book worked :-(
