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

of quotes (which IBM also continues to use in Plex).
