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
