Thanks for the explanation Wolfgang. As to <[: to be quite honest, I  
don't know myself. When you let Eddie Kohler's lcdf tools generate a  
map file for an otf, it uses this syntax, so I just copied this  
behavior because it worked(TM). I have tried to google it, but  
searching for a string like <[ isn't easy, it seems...
