Try:
{\tttf <}
or
\type{<}
The < in your input maps to a different character in your font table
than you expect. Switching to typewriter fonts usually works fine.

your examples work as well, but they use another font. To my eye the $<$
looks thinner, lighter and maybe that's better if it's used in a text
environment or in formulas when the numbers are also not in the typewriter
font.
Groet!

The computer modern have those spanish symbols in those slots, but since <

Hello!
If I use < or > in my text, it becomes "spanish" ! and ? (¡, ¿)
I thought these characters could be used "plain"?
Must I use some macro? I tried \< \less \textless (only errors).
(I've got tables with symbols only for LaTeX, sorry)

Thank you all!
I should have thinked of $ myself, sorry.
Strange, that 7-bit-ascii-chars are mapped "wrong"...

If you want to test this:
\definefont[SomeFont][filename] \SomeFont
\dorecurse{255}{\hbox{\recurselevel: \char\recurselevel}\quad}
If you compare cmr fonts you will even notice differences in encoding
between cmr* ones, like dollar and pound.
The most interesting thing is the missing space! TeX has no real space,
only skips. Used to be a problem with acrobat, who optimized based on
char32 being space.
