I've written a Ruby script which generates a lout document to be included in 
another lout document. The result is a list of all fonts which are visible 
for lout. Each font entry has a short text sample in its Base face and letter 
samples for Base, Slope, Bold, BoldSlope faces as well as a list of faces.

If anyone is interested I will gladly mail the Ruby script and the 
accompanying lout document to him/her or to the list. There is no 
documentation at all but all you have to do is changing the font paths and 
lout paths in the script. And you might want to change the text sample in the 
lout file to suit your taste (and language :-).
Both files together packed with gzip have a size of 2 KB.
