Hi Timothy,

this is because the font/devhtml/R.proto (in the groff source tree)
file contains the line:

'       24      0       0x2019  &rsquo;

which tells grohtml to translate ' onto the html glyph &rsquo;.
An easy user trick is to use the .char request, for example:

    .char ' \[aq]

which maps ' onto ' rather than &rsquo;

hope this helps,

Gaius
