Some typefaces have glyphs for primes and double primes, but not all do. I know that common usage tends to compress straight quotes and primes, i.e., most people just use straight quotes when they *mean* primes. Do you (type friends) think there is an increasing tendency *not* to design primes? Is it considered a waste of time? For me primes and straight quotes are very different things, but I totally get that most people probably don’t think about the difference.
