The problem is that the cmr fonts are not that complete. Once we switch to
the lmr fonts, this problem will disappear (sincethen we can use other
encoding vectors)

Sorry for the delay. \textbraceleft and \textbraceright should
work ok if encodings are set up correctly.

RE: [NTG-context] Not seeing the wood because of so many trees
Hello Tobias and Alexander,
both works. Thank you. I didnt know that I can use '|' instead of '{'}. But
one thing does not work:
{\bf $\{$}
does not print the '{' bold faced :-(
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Greetings
Dierk Höppner

Or $\{$ and $\}$ which uses the math font instead of the typewriter

Re: [NTG-context] Not seeing the wood because of so many trees
A couple of fonts, including Computer Modern Roman, do not have curly braces as glyphs. As Computer Modern Roman is the brick-and-mortar font of TeX, few people bother that there is no explicit token/command that evokes it. You have a point though. -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science.

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

Hello,
just a short and simple question with hopefully a quick answer:
How do I print '{' and '}'. You may answer with RTFM but please name the M

Thanks and sorry for the simple question.
