[texhax] A font problem

[Vasudevan KS]

Hi,

This

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}

\texttt{\detokenize{^~}}

\end{document}

is working properly. But

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\begin{document}

\texttt{\detokenize{^~}}

\end{document}

is not producing the same reuslt.
Do you know how to make

\texttt{\detokenize{^~}}

produce the same result if no

\usepackage{times}

is present in the file?

Can you tell me what are the options of times.
I mean, if I write

\usepackage[<some-option>]{times}

then will

\texttt{\detokenize{^~}}

produce the same result if

\usepackage{times}

has not been written in the file.

Shall I ask you one more question?

If I compile this

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\begin{document}

`'
\begin{verbatim}
`'
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}

using

pdflatex filename.tex

and open the pdf file, then ` and ' will not look like the characters
we see in a text file.
Can tell me what I should do, so that ` and ' will like the characters
we see in a text file.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely
