Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Correct »`« in verbatim Environment with custom Font

[AliceWonder]

Ages ago, before I even started using LaTeX, I purchased Lucida Mono EF in all four standard faces. It is not the same as the mono-spaced font that comes with Lucida Bright family, but it is same designers. It actually is quite similar to the Apple font Monaco (also same designers).

When I started using LaTeX I converted the font from OTF to Type 1 and followed the berry font install instructions. Here is the result:

Code: Select all

 
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{lucimono}[2007/01/31 v.0.3 lucimono (Lucida Mono) package]
\RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}
\RequirePackage{textcomp}
\renewcommand*{\ttdefault}{2lm}
\endinput

That has served me well for years, as you can see over 6 years now. But today I encountered a problem with the »`« character in the context of typesetting shell commands in verbatim:

lucida-mono.png (10.44 KiB) Viewed 4062 times

It uses a smart single quote. I don't know how to even see if the font has an actual »`« character and if it does, how to specify the font use it. I assume I will have to update the .sty file. It has been so long since I did anything font related.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Stumbled upon the solution while reading "The LaTeX Companion" (2nd edition) looking for something else. The solution is to use the upquote package (after declaring the mono spaced font package).
