Horizontal bracket trouble

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
