    Can I just purchase lucida BR narrow

I don't believe this variant existed back when the original Lucida
distribution for TeX was created by Y&Y et al.  We didn't attempt to add
any newer Lucida fonts; that would have complicated the process even
more.  So the Lucida fonts that we (and pctex) distribute are precisely
what Y&Y had in their main distribution.

Perhaps someday we will add other fonts.

     (what variants of the family would I need?) 

Whatever you use, probably roman/italic/bold at least.  I'm not sure you
can always buy them piecemeal anyway?

Also, if you need math, I imagine you'd have to scale the existing math
fonts.  I'm sure that a font set from adobe or wherever will not come
with tex math support.

Michael has already answered about the question of setting up TeX font
support ... (thanks Michael).

Best,
Karl
