the following script can generate .afm files from TTF, and I think it
works with OTF as well. It has fontforge as a dependency. I always
updated Lout font definition files by hand.

I don't think you need actual Type 1 fonts for Lout, just the metrics.
It seemed to work after conversion to PDF, anyway.

#!/usr/bin/fontforge

i=1
while (i<$argc)
    Open($argv[i])
    Generate($argv[i]:r + ".afm")
    i=i+1
endloop
