A quick digging around in e.g. /etc/groff/man.local inspired me to give this one a try which actually works: \N'39' - this will get rendered into a proper apostrophe. It though is highly inconvenient and really hope that there is a different posibility. :/ Just a quick followup. :) Rhonda -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
