[bug #44716] Kerning is missing for quotesingle

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44716 (project groff):


  There is no sense in applying automatic kerning corrections if
something is between the characters.  So manual corrections break
nothing.

  'Quotesingle' and "quotedbl" are glyphs for nondirectional quotation
marks and therefore not used in the usual (classic) typesetting of
text.

  These glyphs are only (primarily) used when printing computer code
(ASCII) and then usually used with a constant-width fonts (e.g.
COURIER), where kerning is not used (needed).

  So I think now, that no additional kerning information is needed for
these nondirectional quotation-characters, if they are used "correctly".
