The story has moved on a bit. I compiled lout with debugging stuff
enabled and ran it with -dft. This gave a lot of stuff, some of which
is shown below, but there are two particularly relevant bits. First,
lout has been able to find omsegr.pfa all along and, secondly, for
every character I want to print from OmegaSerifGreek the stuff of
which the following is merely a small part tells me: `lig = 1'.
There is no kerning information in omsegr.afm so I would have thought
that I should get `lig = 0' all the time.

I've seen nothing detailed about ligatures in lout documentation so
I'm casting myself on the experts again. What do `lig = 1'  and
`unacc[g] = 0' mean? How can I get characters in this font to print?

Below, I give 3 things: the relevant part of source text, the relevant
part of the .ps file and the relevant part of debugging stuff. I've
cut things down as much as seems reasonably and just hope I've not
thrown the baby out with the bath water. I'm happy to send whatever is
required to whoever if they feel able to help but bereft of
information.

Barrie.
