That works for OTF fonts in /usr/share/fonts/OTF and TTF in

Right now, luaotfload does not support Type1 fonts, you have to load them
through the old TFM mechanism (the same way as in PDFTeX, nothing
changed in this area). But since this is the second request to support
Type1 fonts, I might try to steal some more code from ConTeXt that deal
with Type1 fonts, but I'm bit busy now with my fonts.
John:
For ConTeXt you need AFM files to use Type1; I guess that will become
the same for luaotfload.
the main reason why afm loading is not in the generic code is that it's
most likely to be incompatible; context always used the afm approach
(via texfont) while latex has relied on the prebuilt tfm files, and they
use different metrics geared at latex (things are different for the gyre
fonts but one would use the otf files there). There is not that much to
gain as most type one fonts are rather incomplete.
