David, 

Thank you very much.  I try to do two punctuation to the left, but I cannot make it work.  Any help is appreciated.  Please refer to "a" and "c" from the .png

As I explained in my email, if you need additional punctuation you need to add it to the respective variables.

Ah, OK--you didn't mention that you had adapted the functions dealing with left punctuation.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with the glyphs you're using, so I can't run your file.

From looking it over, I can see a number of problems, though.

In "drop-punctuation-left"

--replace string-suffix? with string-prefix?

--string-drop-left is not a command; it's string-drop

In the function "align"

--the functions dealing with left punctuation are never called; make this change:

(text-R (drop-punctuation-left text))

 

Other than this, all appears OK. Hopefully this will do.  With the glyph problems, I think that this is all the help I can offer.
