Likely not a font, but an uncontrolled "typographic replacement". Many word processors replace the "simplistic" ASCII single and double quote from our keyboards by the "typographically correct" apostrophe or opening/closing double quotes(*). But computing languages want the true ASCII characters, so when you copy/paste from a document you take your chances
By the way if you want to write Gimp scripts in a modern and understandable language you can do so in Python.
(*) My personal favorite was a "ZERO WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE" inserted in a file name by the author to make sure that MS-Word would not hyphenate the filename. So he replaced a visible alteration by a much less visible one. Two days of downtime while the operation folks figured that out, which required counting the bytes in the file name and discovering that there were a couple too many.
Thanks Ofnuts, I got the PDF from here: https://docs.gimp.org/2.4/pdf/en.pdf. I didn't know about "typographic replacement" but that totally makes sense.
So, in your opinion, is Python better than Script-fu? Or do they both have their place in scripting for GIMP? I've heard of Python but I'm not familiar with using either of them and, if I want to write GIMP scripts, I may as well start with the better one.

"GIMP Web" should be where to go.
If it helps? Never tried myself.
Thanks nelo, I shall keep that in mind for next time
