Does that mean authors must type \(aq in normal text? If so, I can see
why you're looking for something better; that gives troff a bad name.
:-) Or is it somehow conditional on -Tascii and -Tutf-8 meaning
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/true.1.gz | groff -ma4 -man >/tmp/true.ps
still gives nice looking apostrophes.
Cheers,
Ralph.
