For Garry and others: if your font allows it, use the typographic apostrophe " ’ " instead of the computer apostrophe " ' ". It is often prettier but not always, depending on the font used. As well as the character "…" rather what three successive end points.

In something like a Word document, I would agree. But in a computer game with chunky bit-mapped fonts?
This is unsafe in Adventuron, as it is possible to change the font dynamically within the game using an undocumented feature. This is generally used during development when you're experimenting with fonts, but can be used by a user if your font is not legible on their screen. If someone knows about this and changes the font when you're using funny characters, then they won't see those characters if they're not supported by the font. It's safer to stick with the standard ASCII character set. My font didn't support curly quotes and ellipsis anyway. There was another font that I was considering that did support this (and thousands of other characters that I'm not using), but the base64 file size was HUGE!
