In /Library/Fonts, the system-wide directory of fonts in Mac OS X, I  
have a mixture of Lucida fonts from different Java versions. The  
bigger the font file's size, the better. I did not check the actual  
glyphs contents, maybe it has become useless now ...

"My" Lucida Bright and Lucida Sans Typewriter fonts are still enabled  
for embedding ... the mix might make it. (Some downloader into the PS  
printer for these TT fonts might be useful then.)

I'm not completely sure. Xdv2pdf should not be able to use it. I have  
fontconfig running for use in X11. And I think next month or week  
I'll start SVN to see what xdvipdfmx is doing!
