You don't find lucimatx.sty there because it's a product of PCTeX, Inc.,<br>that ships with the Lucida fonts supplied by that company.</blockquote><div><br>And it costs US$10 from the PCTeX site.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Best of luck trying to get it to work with the Lucida fonts in Y & Y<br>TeX! So far as I am aware, nobody has been able to do that, or if they<br>have they haven't let anybody else know EXACTLY how!.</blockquote>
<div><br>I have been working with Lucida fonts since I bought my first Y&Y TeX some time back in the last century. I just do a standard install and things run very well. I use LY1 encoding and lucidabr.sty. And I still use my Y&Y Lucida font set. It still works fine for me. Should I need to buy the new license from TUG, I would still use the old font set.
<br><br>I presume that lucimatx.sty should work, because there is a pdf file in my Y&Y CD (from 2000, ver. 2.2.1) that seems to be the same you can download from PCTeX. I asked them to tell me if it will work, because I don´t want to waste ten bucks (yes, I´m cheap :-). I will let you know if it works.

<br>explanations were offered about how fonts work in Y&Y, and suggestions<br>made to read this or that part of documentation about fonts, Y&Y, etc.<br>But still this has been of no use -- at least to me.<br><br>If you can find out, PLEASE let everybody know here!
</blockquote><div><br>I found the solution for my problem, anyway, and it does not require <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">lucimatx.sty</span>.<br>I want to have an environment typeset with Lucida Sans and want the equations and
<br>other math stuff to be also typeset in Lucida Sans, without the need to use the <br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">\mathsf</span> LaTeX command.<br><br>Donald Arseneau´s <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
sansmath.sty</span>, tweaked, was the solution. This package creates a <br>new command, <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">\sansmath</span>, which can be declared in a local group (like my example<br>environment).
<br><br>To make it work with Lucida Sans, it should be declared after lucidabr.sty. In my case, I have a new environment (<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">sol.</span>) within which I want all math to be typeset in Lucida Sans:
<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">\usepackage[LY1,expert,lucidasmallscale,mathitalic2]{lucidabr} </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

cmsy </span>with the appropriate strings for Lucida. [Any suggestions from the font gurus?]. Anyway, just skipping them seems to be enough... I checked the dvi fonts in my document and apparently all the right ones are there: every instance of
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">cm*</span> disappeared from the dvi font list.<br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
The lucimatx style file is much nicer to use to control details of Lucida fonts. <br></blockquote></div><br>I´ll let you know if I can make it work.<br><br clear="all">Thanks to Murray for the help.<br><br>--jrs.<br>-- <br>
