I seem to have dome something to the quotations style but I can't see

but it keeps coming out the same when I view pdf or dvi.
At first I was getting " (i.e. two small vertical marks); this wasn't
ideal but it was acceptable. Now, when I print it or view pdf, I
get two
marks slanting to the right, both before and after the quoted text.
On screen it still looks the same, like two vertical marks.
Actually, in plain latex I can get a better effect, with correct
inverted commas, by doing ``text''. There does not seem to be any
way
to get that effect in Lyx, which is odd.
Any comments?
Sorry to reply to myself but I think I've found what the problem was -
it was the font I was selelecting, Palatino instead of default.

Hermann Zapf, the designer of Palatino and many other beautiful
typefaces (Aldus, Comenius, Melior, Optima, Rennaisance...),
preferred quotation marks in this style.
