Bug Description
Hi,
I switched to a VC with ctrl-alt-f1 (after accidentally ctrl-alt-
the ' characters in manpages were corrupt; It was both apostrophes (e.g. it's) and those used
for quoting (which I suspect are the beginning/end variety).
The characters were rendered as a blob; there was a different blob for the beginning and ending
quote.
This is a machine upgraded from Gutsy with an Intel 945GM - all the rest of the text was fine, so I suggest
maybe the console font is missing some entries or can't cope with none-ascii properly?

In fact, straight quotes are not affected, only curly quotes; but man uses curly quotes in e.g. "it's" in UTF-8 locales.
