Howdy,

Here's what I use:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[expert,vargreek,altbullet]{lucidabr}
% to force some defs that textcomp doesn't seem to think Lucida has
\usepackage[force]{textcomp}
% to get the euro that looks pretty good with Lucida
\usepackage{eurosans}
\let\texteuro\euro

The last requires the Adobe EuroSans Fonts, free from Adobe. I would suspect
it's the T1 encoding or that I've just been lucky so far.

BTW [protrusion=true,expansion=true] is actually the default which is the
same as [activate]. Try just using \usepackage{microtype} and see if that
makes a difference.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
