Computer Modern in Lout

Hello all,
I've been trying to get the CM fonts in lout with no success.
I'm using lout-3.31 (compiled from sources). This is what I've done so far:

- downloaded cmps-unix.tar.gz
- copied all the afm files to /usr/local/lout.lib/font (my lout font directory)
- added the following to /usr/local/lout.lib/data/fontdef.ld:

{ @FontDef
    @Tag { CMR-Base }
    @Family { CMR }
    @Face { Base }
    @Name { CMR10 }
    @Metrics { cmr10.afm }
    @Mapping { LtLatin1.LCM }
}

- created a small lout file to test it:

@SysInclude {report}
@Report
       @Title
       {
clines @Break {
18p @Font {Lorem ipsum}
{CMR Base 12p} @Font {dolor sit amet}
{CMR Base 12p} @Font @Date
}
       }
       @CoverSheet {No}
       @InitialFont {CMR Base 10p}
//

@Section
       @Title {Primera}
@Begin
@PP
{CMR Base} @Font {Prueba de Computer Modern}
@End @Section

- $ lout -o test.ps -c test test.lout
lout file "/usr/local/lout.lib/data/fontdefs.ld" (from "report" line 471, from "test.lout" line 1): 1057,16: ignoring unencoded ligature character ff in font file /usr/local/lout.lib/font/cmr10.afm (line 128) 1057,16: fatal error: kerning pair k a appears twice in font file /usr/local/lout.lib/font/cmr10.afm (line 288)

- after a few iterations removing the repeated pairs, I finally got the ps, but with a really ugly font... :-S

What's the "good" way to add CM fonts to lout?
thanks!
