I must say that fonts which have such `quotes' really force the user
to use Unicode.  From a typographical point of view I fully agree that
it is ugly.  But 'foo' as a substitute for `foo' is simply not
acceptable to me in many situations.  For example, think of a man page
documenting Lisp.  `(...) and '(...) are completely different things.
