I've just tried it. I used it in the past. Perhaps it's not right because of the "quotation marks"! If you can help me again... thanks a lot!

nothing wrong with the quotation marks if you use the proper ones, so far as i see. i may have the wrong weight (don't have others available, sorry)

Yeah, it shouldn't be wrong. What kind of Eurostile have you been using?
28 Jan 2013 — 6:05pm
no idea. may have been installed with an application somewhere along the line. if I was using my work mac, i'd say the adobe version OTF. but this is my personal machine and i don't have access to the fancy stuff here.
edit - if you meant what weight, i think this was a medium that i falsely bolded in a text editor.

I meant "Eurostile Extended" or "Eurostile Condensed" or "Eurostile Demi" or something else. Any ideas? But you should have been using a simple "Eurostile"...

well, judging solely by your image i'd start with Demi. the adobe version seems a bit heavier than Linotype
the subtext may be another weight and there's always the chance it's been stretched, spaced, etc. experimentation is your friend.

My " quotation marks" doesn't appear like yours! I really don't know why. In advance again, thanks a lot for your precious words!

ok, are you using the regular quotes or typographers quotes? not knowing what application you are using, i can only suggest the following:
“ = option+[
” = option+shift+[

Use so-called "Smart Quotes" “.......” (alt+0147 and alt+0148) .
(Adobe Demi)

I'm using a MAC at this moment. I try by it again!
