But I figured that if Sigil didn't like them, probably there was an e-reader that agreed, so I dutifully have changed to straight quotes and double hyphens, as in the old days with the Olivetti Lettera 22. (I wonder if Sigil wants to see capital O for a zero and small l for a one when I use Courier/monotype?)
monospace (monotype is a trade name )

Every font set has its foibles (missing characters...)

If the face needs 0 to be an O, then it should just copy the Glyph to that position in the table and not count on the user to know that manual Typewriters did not have 0 keys (or 1's)
