weird treatment of ' and `

[Daniel Pfeiffer]

These two quotes, even though they are plain Ascii, seem to come from another 
font.  This has several undesirable effects:

- Their underlines (if any) will be one pixel lower than those of neighboring 
characters.

- When inserting them, all following lines scroll down one pixel, or back up 
one pixel when deleting them.

- When at least one appears, there will be an empty line at the bottom of the 
window.  This happens with M-x shell, C-- C-l or in the minibuffer.

- I compiled Emacs with gtk after installing SuSE Linux 9.0 and transferred it 
to a machine still running under SuSE Linux 8.2.  Due to some font differences 
that machine showed empty boxes for the quotes.  I have since updated that 
machine too, and the behaviour is now the same as described above.

In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.2.3)
 of 2003-10-19 on pfdabpc
configured using `configure '--with-gtk' 
'--with-pkg-config-prog=/tmp/pkgconfig-0.15.0/pkg-config' 'CFLAGS=-O2
