esr pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit e280362f9f735e51667aa1d4d9d19b514f5afefe
Author: Eric S. Raymond <address@hidden>

    In eqn manual, use groff's own quotes rather than fragile .tr substitution.
    
    This is what we assume works elsewhere, and .tr has a tendency to break in
    third-party renderers. Spotted by doclifter.
