IEEEtran bibliography with bibtex formating issues

Question

I am trying to format the bibliography for the first time, I have installed the IEEEtran package and everything is working except I have a couple of issues, they can be seen in the screenshot. Firstly, I don't understand why the opening quotation mark of the title is so weird — it is different from the closing one, takes much more space and looks awful. Secondly, the IEEE format does not imply double dashes in the pages numbering and I haven't had any luck finding how to change the automatic reformatting. I'd really appreciate someone helping me with these problems. Here's the main doc code:

    \documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper, left=3cm, top=2cm, right=1.5cm, bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\onehalfspacing
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\begin{document}
\input{title}
\setcounter{page}{2}
%Abstract
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{\large Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize
\singlespacing
    Abstract here.
\end{abstract}
\onehalfspacing
\newpage
%Table of contents
\tableofcontents

\bibliography{references}
\end{document}

And here's the references.bib:

    \begin{document}
@conference{Xconference,
    author = "Sourobh Ghosh and Warren Seering",
    title = "Set-based Thinking in the Engineering Design Community and Beyond",
    booktitle = "Proceedings of the ASME 2014 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences \& Computers and Information in Engineering Conference",
    pages = "10-13",
    address = "Buffalo, NY",
    year = "2014",
    month = "17-20 August"
}
\end{document}

Answer 1

I'm guessing you have a TeX distribution with an older version of fontspec which doesn't yet automatically run the option Ligatures=TeX when executing \setmainfont. If you change the instruction to

\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Times New Roman}

you'll get the typographically appropriate quotation marks and an "en-dash" instead of "--" to denote the range of pages.

While you're at it, you should also change the month field to

month = "17--20 August"

in order to get an en-dash in that field as well.
