Fellow Louters,
I'm nearly done with a math paper, typeset in Lout. Lout's done quite
well for this project. I like using Lout, and haven't used its main
competitor since (mumble) years ago. I think my last LaTeX neuron died
about two years ago.
But ps2pdf, I'm not so impressed by. In several places I use a
horizontal curly bracket to indicate a section of an expression. It
looks good when viewed in the Postscript file produced by Lout. But
when I make a PDF by running ps2pdf, it's transformed into boxes of the
type for when a glyph can't be found. This is on an Arch Linux machine
with plenty of RAM, fast CPU, etc.
The Lout code for this looks like:
@IndentedNumberedDisplay @Tag {yeqasupb} @Math { y = @beeofthem {a
@opone ... @opone a} = a sup B }
My mydefs file for this project defines @beeofthem:
import @Math
def @beeofthem
right xxx
{
xxx wideabove {90d @Rotate blbrace } above {B ` of them}
}
This is likely a problem in ps2pdf, not Lout, but maybe experienced
Louters (?) have seen something like this before, involving turning
something 90 degrees. Does anyone know of a workaround?
I don't think I can usefully attach images to an email going to a
nongu.org mailing list. Screen caps from my PS/PDF viewer are in this FP
