Hi,
thanks to both Clint and you for the help.
In /etc/groff/man.local, I removed the comments in front of:
. if '\*[.T]'utf8' \
.char - \N'45'

. if '\*[.T]'utf8' \
.tr \[oq]'
(I could have removed the condition alltogether)

Hi,
in some man pages (e.g. ImageMagick, dh_installmime but I've met other

but some other unicode letter.
This has two major drawbacks:
- search for options become nearly impossible (try searching for -m,
without using -).
