Hi all, I've noticed a difference in the typesetting of apostrophes depending on selected font family with groff -mom.
Steps to reproduce (GNU groff version 1.22.4, from MacPorts): - Fetch Peter Schaffter's font installation script from https://www.schaffter.ca/mom/bin/install-font.sh. - (Peter, if you're here: thanks for 'mom' and this script!) - Install a macOS system font, e.g. Georgia; I did this interactively, creating Georgia +R, +I, +B and +BI. - Typeset the following (minimal) document: --8<------------------------ .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET \#.FAMILY H \#.FAMILY Georgia .START .PP Here's an example. --8<------------------------ - Note how the apostrophe is typeset as ’ (closing single quotation mark) with Times. - Specify another builtin FAMILY, like H (uncomment line 2); typeset and observe the same. - Now specify that the document is should be typeset in Georgia instead (comment out line 2, uncomment line 3). - Note that the apostrophe is now typeset as ' (a typewriter quote). Workaround: specify .char ' \[cq] before START. Note too that this is what .CODE OFF is doing; my document originally had _inconsistent_ straight and curly apostrophes as a result of interleaved code blocks. It's unclear to me why this behaviour differs on the basis of family; is this a bug, a difference caused by installing a custom font, or simply user error? (If the behaviour is intentional, then there's a related state bug in CODE toggling.) Thanks, Marc
