I would second that. I can use it in computer program documentation for many different things. Greetings Dierk

Sorry for going back to an older thread, but I don't think the question was answered properly. Alexander Klink wanted to know how to typeset "{" and "}". Suggestions were "\type|{| and \type|}|" or "$\{$ and $\}$". Neither of which is satisfactory, because it will typeset them either in typewriter or in math font. We had a discussion about similar questions a while ago. I still think we should have "\{" and "\}" for this kind of thing. As long as this isn't available, I see no better solution than "\getglyph{Serif}{123}" and "\getglyph{Serif}{125}" vel. sim. For those of us working in the humanities, these curly braces are sometimes necessary (e.g., in critical editions), and having them in typewriter or math fonts isn't acceptable. So may I continue my rally for \{ etc.?

All best

Thomas
