I really hate those "smart quotes", better named "dumb quotes", because:
- I don't find them attractive at all, but that's personal, and could depend
on font families, etc.
- they're not correctly converted when playing with the coding system: from
UTF-8 to Latin 1, for example. That's really nasty.
I was/am planning to have a function for converting them on the fly when
pasting... or when saving the Org buffer... or at any better moment. Though, I
didn't get the right code to do so yet...

UTF-8 is correctly handled in LaTeX documents, but not in every environment:
Listings has problems, even if a Listings exist for UTF-8, and so for many
other environments.
So I would say that UTF-8 usage is still not yet fully supported in TeX.
Best regards,
Seb
