It may be that the Adobe fonts don't provide a nice prime symbol
(and that I did not include it for this reason). In fact, the fonts were
hand-compiled on a character by character basis by me, a long time ago...
Please look into

        TeXmacs/fonts/enc/adobe-math.enc
        TeXmacs/fonts/enc/rptmr.enc
        TeXmacs/fonts/enc/rpsyr.enc
        TeXmacs/fonts/enc/rpsyro.enc
        etc.

and maybe to

        src/Plugins/Metafont/tex_font.cpp

(search for adobe). Maybe you can hack things and improve the quality.
In principle, you can mix with the usual computer modern fonts when needed.

Best wishes, Joris
