Hello,

these packages are finished and are on the CTAN and in an updated 
TeXLive 2008. The most important thing that is missing is luafontconfig, 
which is not working yet, and won't before a couple of months. Otherwise 
you can safely use these packages to load your otf font directly. If you 
use otf fonts, you don't have to load luainputenc nor fontenc, it should 
work directly in UTF-8.

The other solution I used is the script otfinst 
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/otfinst/), which does a 
lot of things automatically.

Thank you,
