[OS X TeX] Quoting in XeLaTeX

[Luis Sequeira]

How should one produce proper quotation marks in XeLaTeX? Apparently,  
the regular LaTeX way, i.e.

         ``something in quotes''

(opening with two backquotes and close with two forward quotes) works  
if no specific font is indicated, but as soon as one selects a font  
the above
just places the same back- and forward quote characters, yielding an  
ugly output...

A minimal example:

%%%%%%%
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass{book}


\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}

\font\txt="Verdana" at 10pt


\begin{document}
\txt
``something in quotes''
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%
