They were fresh glyphs written afterwards. The glyps I got were dependant on the setting I chose in the second screen (after choosing UTF from the first.) while doing 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup'. I've now got it set to 'Guess optimal character set' which does do the quotes. It was when choosing the other options i noticed the D shape with a squiggle on top. There is also setupcon (man setupcon) which may be of some interest. Once I got the dlyphs showing correctly I didn't bother with the technicalities any further --- although what the option 'Guess optimal character set' is actually doing behind the scenes *may* be an option for further perusal. -- The media's the most powerful entity on earth.
