What is the encoding of your source file? Remember, lout was 
created before Unicode was really fully present, so it works 
only with 8bit ISO-8859-* encodings. If your source file is (as 
I suppose it is) in UTF-8 you have to first convert it to 
iso-8859-1 via (if you are on Linux, or perhaps even Mac OS X?)

iconv -f utf8 -t iso-8859-1 file.lout file-iso.lout

and then process file-iso.lout file.

Best,

Matěj
