Lout, Linux, and Postscript fonts

[YWMARSHALL]

I have been trying out Lout on Linux, with a Postscript
printer (HP LJ 5mp.)

I understand the fontdefs mechanism, and have made the
appropriate entries for Lout to use the .afm metric files.

Now it would seem I just need to download the .pfb font
files to the printefor the non-resident fonts I would
like to use in my document.

How do I do this?  cat -ing the .pfb files to the device 
doesn't work, nor does cat -ing the .pfb files with Lout's
postscript output.  [cat -ing, from the verb to cat]

There must be a simple utility somewhere.  Could someone
please point me in the right direction?

Thank you!
