the problem is in (1) not all fonts having all chars [esp cmr have gaps] and (2) handling catcodes when args are passed around, in tables this is very nasty (and related to typeset tex in its own language; compare xml where you have to escape < > " to do the same) \tttf\string{ works quite well unless the scanner wants matching {}'s as do \texescape \leftargument \rightargument Hans
