Yes, you're right.  Lout only needs AFM files to format the document
but obviously you'll need the fonts to print or view it.

. put a `fontdef' in your mydefs.lt file.

  fontdef MyFont Base { MyFontPostScriptName MyFntAFMFile LtLatin2.LCM Recode }
  # and so on for Bold, Slope etc

. in your document refer to the font name defined in the previous
  step, e.g. specify

      @InitialFont { MyFont Base 12p }


. put the AFM file where lout can find it (you can use -F option to
  make lout look for AFM file in non-standard places).

. put the font file where your PostScript software can find it, so
  that you can view and/or print the lout output.

Hope that helps.
