Reply To: GREP Use for Measurement Prime/Double Prime

Is there a good reason for using a typeface that doesn’t support the inch and foot marks?
From an outsider perspective, it sounds like you’re looking for a second workaround to fix your first workaround, so to speak.
Or is the problem that authors don’t use the correct characters anyway, and just type a ” when they should type a ??

Edit: might have guessed – this forum doesn’t support the inch mark either, hence the double question mark in the line above!
