when i try using this

“	201c	left double quotation mark
”	201d	right double quotation mark

the postscript looks fine on plan 9 but not elsewhere.

if i used `` and '' instead and use /sys/doc/cleanup, the postscript
doesn't look right either.

what's the secret?

Did you download the unicode postscript fonts? The invocation of
aux/download is somewhat intricate, but in the list archives is a message
from Russ(?) showing how it's done. I've got bitten before because of these
German umlauts we're using here.

thanks for the pointer.  this is what worked for me:

pic fs.ms|eqn|tbl|troff -ms| lp -dstdout|aux/download -f -H/sys/lib/postscript/font -mfontmap -r/sys/lib/postscript/font/lw+>p.ps

the aux/dowload line is stolen from russ' post http://9fans.net/archive/2001/12/173.
