Here you see the "typographic" quotes I recognised, but Stefan did not  
overlook your second problem! ANSI Esc sequences are sent to make the  
output look colourful. I haven't seen this. There are two options, I  
can think of: set TERM to a reasonable value, maybe xterm-256color, in  
case it's true (or smaller no. of colours or just xterm-color), and  
enable inside GNU Emacs handling of these codes with:

        (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

This works, starting from *some* GNU Emacs 22.x, in shells. I'm not  
sure whether it works in a *compilation* buffer. And I'n not sure if  
it works when GNU Emacs runs without windows, i.e., when it depends on  
what this terminal emulation can perform.

Which tool is actually emitting these codes? (I presume it's this  
"javatolatex".) Does its documentation tell a bit about colours?
