Hello Wolfgang,

The apostrophe should be 9. This is default in the current
version. See testfile below.

See the command 

\setuplanguage[...][...,...=...,...]


[...]		   nl fr en uk de es cz ..
[...,...=...,...]  see \installlanguage (1)


and

\installlanguage[...][...,...=...,...]


[...]		   <name>

leftquotation	   <command>

Here is an example file. Note that you need a font that has these
characters available (cmr does not). For the < and > see leftquote
and rightquotation. These are the possibilities for the "french"
quotation marks.

%% guilsingleleft 
%% guilsingleright
%% leftguillemot

As Patrick assumes I commit typos on purpose: 

This is an example of a misplaced apostrophe, six or nine, no matter.

"Such" and "suche" are both legal imperative forms of "suchen", so 
no indication of a missing letter is necessary.

OK, you are right. Another try:

\small \tfx is fine and when typefaces are used even not that slow

Is there any need for an xxx? it's not that hard to implement that (search 
for !xx in font-ini and you'll see why), but is it worth the overhead?

Grrr! This was homemade. Some character 0x91 in my inputfile.

What about cmsy \ll ? In LaTeX this is used to build \flqq.

By texexecing this file, the font utmr8r could' nt be found?!
Should this be available in a standard debian-distribution?
