Description

I've noticed using ofTrueTypeFont drawStringAsShapes the apostrophe / right single quote character is missing.
Probably pointing to another unicode character.
steps to reproduce

		
font.drawStringAsShapes("marketer’s", x, y);

Research direction

Start with the C++ drawStringAsShapes call in the reproduction and trace how its text characters are parsed and mapped. Verify the behavior with “marketer’s” and consider the issue done when the apostrophe/right single quote renders correctly instead of disappearing.
