Piet,

this problems exists as well in the native NS (Aqua) variant of GNU Emacs 24.0.50. You can check with C-u C-x =, with the text cursor on that character, which font is used to display that character. The quotes are taken from Apple Symbols. M-x describe-fontset RET reports similarly. I've tried to cure the problem with a statement like:

    (set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font) '(#x2018 . #x201E)
		      "FreeMono" nil 'prepend)

("Monospace" might also be useful), but it does not work. M-x describe-fontset RET does report the change, but it's not expressed on screen. What does work is using FreeMono as font. This overrides the use of Apple Symbols.
