We had a discussion on this topic some time ago on this list, see

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2007-08/msg00115.html

The problem is illustrated in the image attached to that message.
Adobe's Courier and Microsoft's Verdana and Tahoma all have this
problem, IBM's Courier is an exception by using a different style
of quotes (which IBM also continues to use in Plex).
