What about double quotes?
quilt's manpage renders like this in the man viewer: ``pushed on the

I looked at the source and the .1 file has exactly those
to either “” or depending on the locale.
Yeah, that's a groff-specific feature. I suspect they won't render
properly on, for instance, Solaris. (\[xx] is a groff extension to the
language.)

Absent that, we're considering adding some sort of ugly hack to Lintian
to force the locales package to generate a UTF-8 locale if one isn't
already available. Unfortunately, there's
place I looked. It is mentioned,
but not defined, in environ(7). Thank you!
