Dear TeXmacs user list,

I am experimenting with using TeXmacs to prepare some lecture notes and it's 
really cool so far! I have one little problem that I hope you can help me 
with. When I am using a font other than the default (such as Linux 
Libertine), I notice that the rendering of apostrophes is as tick marks ['] 
rather than a proper apostrophe [’]. For example, here is an example of a 
piece of text I cannot get to look write when I type it in:

    In the spirit of Halmos’ book, 

If I enter that into TeXmacs using the apostrophe key, it is rendered as a 
straight tick mark. I am on the macOS platform, and so I also tried using the 
system-wide keyboard shortcut to insert an actual curly apostrophe 
(alt-shift-]) and this had the same effect.

Can you provide some advice for how I should enter apostrophes into TeXmacs?

Thank you very much,
Jon
