I am typesetting a translation of some ancient poetry book from another language (namely Finnish). In the text there are several quotes which uses the Guillemets (« and »).
Since I am using a UTF-8 encoded document (with \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
) in my text there are directly those symbols.
Upon rendering, however, the symbol closely resemble \ll
and \gg
, that is "much smaller than" and "much greater than".
Is there a way for me to obtain something more similar to « and » ?

Here's an example:
As you can see, the first line has really
\ll
and\gg
, as the guillemets aren't available in the OT1 encoding. In the second line we use a T1-encoded font, which has the guillemets.So write
and your guillemets will be OK.
