Then it would have to be a feature of the font, and I am not familiar with any font that does that automatically. Technically, it might be possible, with advanced scripting available in OpenType, but considering how even the most basic of ligatures are unsupported under most Linux and Windows fonts, I would not have my hopes up to have this any time soon.

As far as i know it's (very) hard to do correctly. There are (small or big) differences among languages and it is not always obvious to detect ,if the quote should be converted at all, if it's a left one, or a right one. As a reference, this is a Python Script trying to do the conversion in Scribus: https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Convert_Typewriter_Quotes_to_Typographic_Quotes https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Convert_Typewriter_Quotes_to... There is also an article by the author of the script, explaining his work and pointing to at least one common case it cannot handle: https://opensource.com/article/17/3/python-scribus-smart-quotes https://opensource.com/article/17/3/python-scribus-smart-quo... Putting all this logic in a font might or not be something your really want... But I 100%: this should be done at the font level... and hard replacing characters is not a good solution.
