When I was at university, I spent every Wednesday afternoon at the print shop, laying out the student paper on the block. I never ran into this question! Perhaps the linotypists, like the Chicago Manual of Style, felt it wasn't necessary for my education. Or perhaps they'd never encountered quotes-within-quotes.
Out of curiosity, I looked at my most recent e-book to see whether it contained any instance of quote-within-quote. It doesn't, but I did discover several straight apostrophes instead of ’s! I will fix them when I get back from the gym.
