Possible. But many of these webpages have not changed. Is it possible
that previously, I this was not an issue because I was using the
Microsoft TrueType Fonts, rather than Liberation now?
Hmm, I got this bit wrong. Having checked the help page in question, I
can see that, on my box, the rendered help page (produced from HTML
source) seems to have the bytes:
E2 80 98 l m E2 80 99
which is the UTF-8 encoding for U+2018 lm U+2019, so ignore what I said
about Windows encodings.
If there was a locale discrepancy between R and your terminal, I'd
expect to see <e2><80><98>lm<e2><80><99> on the
display, but your
display misses the <e2>, which leaves me more confused.
That *still* means it shouldn't have anything to do with your
particular font.
What locale are you using?
