[OS X TeX] Lucida again

[George Gratzer]

Hi Jose Maria,

This is a miracle! This works.

And how fast. Since I am not working within invisible folders with  
permission problems, I just dragged the Lucida folder's content into  
the new texmf folder, did the sudo, and pronto.

Should somebody write to TUG and tell them this?

I do update the clone daily, but I assume that I also export the  
corruptions...

Your friend,

George
