Post an example of the command you are using with your sample text that fails. It is not surprising that quotes do not work (unless possibly you escape them). But it was never intended to override the shell quoting. Internally, the text will be quoted and if you have quotes in the text, then the second quote it finds will cut off the text at that point, if I understand what might be happening.

Both of these work fine for me and both kinds of quotes around SOFT show up fine.

texteffect -t "SOME 'SOFT' SHADOW TEXT" -s softshadow -e normal -f Arial -p 48 -c skyblue -b white -o skyblue -l 1 -g black -m 10 texteffect1.png

texteffect -t "SOME \"SOFT\" SHADOW TEXT" -s softshadow -e normal -f Arial -p 48 -c skyblue -b white -o skyblue -l 1 -g black -m 10 texteffect2.png
