Subject:Re: inch vs. right quote From:BURGAMW1 <burgamw1 -at- TEOMAIL -dot- JHUAPL -dot- EDU> Date:Tue, 11 Feb 1997 08:51:58 EST
Barb Philbrick asks, "Is there a typographic difference between the inch symbol
and the typographic right quote?"
In many fonts, there is a difference. The inch symbol is a double prime, that
is, two slanted but straight lines. The right quote is usually two "curly"
lines.
