To expand on Hans' somewhat curt response for the next poor sap to
stumble down this road: "This is actually quite simple. Just make sure
you're using a font that includes a straight single quote. Computer
Modern doesn't have one."

Unfortunately, that doesn't actually appear to be the solution. On my
system at least, I'm getting commas with a raised baseline, not single
quotes. I've attached a PDF that demonstrates.

Is using a different font encoding worth exploring?
