      some typographical quote characters in Courier are drawn as empty space on Mac OS
      Can be verified by pasting some of this text into font sampler (some quotes do work):
      „double quotes“ and ‚single quotes‘
      U+2018 ‘
      U+2019 ’
      U+202A ‚
      U+202B ‛
      U+202C “
      U+202D ”
      U+202E „
      U+202F ‟

      Native Mac OS applications prove that these characters are defined in Courier.
      In print they work.
      With Courier New, it works too.
      This is a critical bug for our software, since most of our customers write novels and tend to use Courier a lot.
