For ease of reading we decided to write SGML source as:
Dokument o nazwie: ,,&book-title;''
If we need to use '' in source which really needs to be '', we use
'' for ''.
Then normal out put by debiandoc-sgml are fixed by:
For text, we convert it with:
perl -i -p -e 's/,,/"/g;' -e "s/''/\"/g;" $2
Dokument o nazwie: "Debian Reference" zawiera informacje
For HTML, we convert it with:
for xx in *.html ;
do
perl -i -p -e 's/,,/„/g;' -e "s/''/”/g;" $xx
done
Dokument o nazwie: „Debian Reference” zawiera
For Latex:
# use double quotes ,,text'', LaTeX: "`text"'
sed -e "s/\`\`/\"\`/g" -e "s/,,/\"\`/g" -e "s/''/\"'/g" > $file.tmp

Do you get characters equivalent of „ ” in your latain-2
encoding system in plain text or source code? That was the issue.

Actually, I thought Chinese font itself was nice in X on my unstable
system.
Character spacing especially nixed alphanumeric (Hankaku=haif-width)
fonts and fixed double width Chinese character were somewhat not perfect
but as good as MS-Words used to be in Windows 3.1 days.
One problem was current Chinese out put was justified to fit page width.
I much rather like left justified style in these fixed width fonts.
But this is my personal thing.
