Actually, Lout direct PDF support is quite outdated, so that it does 
not work as well as PostScript. The solution I would recommend is to 
generate your document in PostScript, then include fonts with 
PostScript utilities (psutils) if you have non-standard fonts, then 
convert it into PDF 1.4 with ghostscript.

This makes things a little bit more complex, but you can be sure to 
have the best result. BTW, if you are planning to use color images, 
have a look at the website for optimal usage of images in Lout.

Cheers,
