Yeah – this is OK, except that the font is not "Roman". The `  
character becomes

         character: ‘ (8216, #o20030, #x2018)

in the PDF file via a CMAP (character mapping) in the PDF output file!  
Heh, this is a GNU service! Messages from the GNU Compiler Collection  
(GCC) are quoted in these "typographic" single or double quotes. (For  
which you can see in the *compilation* buffer lots of \342\200\234,  
\342\200\235, \342\200\236, \342\200\237 sequences.)

I tried to use -dCMAPDEBUG -dTTFDEBUG to debug a bit what gs is doing,  
but it's not clear why and when which CMap file gets inserted. Maybe  
you can find on the Ghostscript home page a clue to get specific  
ps2pdfwr help.


What keeps you from using mac-print-mode? It preserves the backquote.  
Or /quoteleft in PostScript.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something  
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
