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