The whole story:
*
If Microsoft Arial is installed and available, ImageMagick uses FreeType and
everything is defined and works just like that.
*
Otherwise, FreeType seems to fail:
{ xfd -fa sans; }: no font to display
and ImageMagick uses Nimbus Sans L which does not contain a glyph for ′ and
apparently replaces it with the glyph for ?:
And that is wrong, as the rendering of the following program shows:
/Helvetica findfont 18 scalefont setfont
10 10 moveto
/.notdef showglyph
showpage
So this looks like an upstream bug and upstream is unwilling to handle it
because they say it is another bug that has been fixed in the current version.
The log shows that the character is passed to Annotate unaltered:
