That is it on the nose Tori. The curly quotes and the microns were also driving my scientists batty using the marketing-dictated corporate font. The majority of font did stay w/ the corporate font, but the slight few substitutions were not different enough to cause consternation and by doing so, the document was much smoother to read.
Thanks!

I can't speak for Tammy's work environment, but I have worked on two manuals where the client OK'd replacing the quote marks and the microns, but the majority of the font needed to stay their corporate font – similar issues to her observation on the quotes, and the microns in this particular font looked like they are italic even when they aren't, which drove their scientists bats.

You could, but why not just change the font?
And if you're not free to change the font, then why would you be free
to override individual glyphs?
