Hmm, I got this bit wrong. Having checked the help page in question, I 
can see that, on my box, the rendered help page (produced from HTML 
source) seems to have the bytes:

E2 80 98 l m E2 80 99

which is the UTF-8 encoding for U+2018 lm U+2019, so ignore what I said 
about Windows encodings.

If there was a locale discrepancy between R and your terminal, I'd 
expect to see <e2><80><98>lm<e2><80><99> on the display, but your 
display misses the <e2>, which leaves me more confused.

That *still* means it shouldn't have anything to do with your 
particular font.

What locale are you using?
