Fixed in CVS

For each of the Mono fonts, made characters
‘ ’ ‚ ‛ “ ” „ ‟
Really, they're all composed of references to the first.

Also, sometimes the "tick" characters e.g. U2033 would incorrectly refer to one of these.

Spacing and obliqueness could be cleaned up.

Nikki,

This affects all the quote marks then
2018 - 201F

How should they be drawn, then? A box with a slanted tail?

FreeMono has the wrong glyphs for ‘ (U+2018) and “ (U+201C), see attached screenshot. U+2018 and U+201B share the same glyphs, as do U+201C and U+201F. While the glyphs for U+2018 and U+201C may be acceptable in English, they're not correct for languages which use them as closing quotation marks, e.g. German.
