That one is indeed hard to understand as it happens while reading
`fontdefs.ld':

  lout file "/home/ludo/soft/lib/lout/data/fontdefs.ld" (from "doc" line 462, 
from "def-t1.lout" line 1):
    788,16: fatal error: illegal mapping file name (quotes needed?)

I'm afraid the parser can't stand digits within identifiers and not much
