Hi,

I usually keep my collection of non-standard fonts in a subdirectory
of lout's lib/include (named "fonts" for example).
Then I can do e.g.:

# include non-standard fonts                                                    
                    
@SysPrependGraphic { "fonts/Myriad-Roman.pfa" }                                 
                    
@SysPrependGraphic { "fonts/OfficinaSans-Bold.pfa" }                            
                    

to have the type1 font files included in lout's output. Also, I keep
the associated font metrics files (.afm) in lout's lib/fonts directory
(and added them to the fontdefs database). The latter is only necessary
for fonts for which no metrics are included in the lout distribution).

Works fine for me.
