Thanks, Ralf. This was to put d'esprit (French "of spirit") into a short document. I didn't want to invoke French language support for just one character and I thought something like \' should work but it put accent aigu on the first vowel of esprit instead. I had to leave a space after \textquotesingle but the pdf looked fine. I didn't find symbols-a4.pdf anywhere in miktex subdirectory. I will download it from ctan.

How can I get a straight quote mark (apostrophe ascii 27) in a pdf produced by a teX file? Whatever I try, I get curly apostrophes or smart quotes.
For example like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
"
\end{document}

Oh, wait, _single_ quote ...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\begin{document}
\textquotesingle
\end{document}

See symbols-a4.pdf.
