[lucida] The lucidabr package

[Ignacio Fernández Galván]

Hi,

I've just bought the Lucida fonts, and I find some symbols are missing
in the package definition (some upright Greek letter variants). I've
added the following lines to lucidabr.sty and it seems to work fine:

  \DeclareMathSymbol{\upvartheta}{\mathord}{mathupright}{35}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\upvarpi}{\mathord}{mathupright}{36}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\upvarrho}{\mathord}{mathupright}{37}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\upvarsigma}{\mathord}{mathupright}{38}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\upvarphi}{\mathord}{mathupright}{39}

Moreover, I'd wish to have an option to select italic uppercase Greek
letters, without having to use \varGamma et al., maybe a "slantedGreek"
option could be added?

This leads me to another issue with LaTeX in general: the absence of
some uppercase Greek letters. I understand their shape is equivalent to
some Latin letters, but when Greek letters are upshape and Latin
letters are italic... they don't look quite right, and it's still worse
when the text font is not the same as the math font, because then it's
harder to select the right font for each symbol. I guess there would't
be great problems adding these lines where appropriate:

  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Alpha}{\mathord}{mathupright}{65}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Beta}{\mathord}{mathupright}{66}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Epsilon}{\mathord}{mathupright}{69}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Zeta}{\mathord}{mathupright}{90}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Eta}{\mathord}{mathupright}{72}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Iota}{\mathord}{mathupright}{73}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Kappa}{\mathord}{mathupright}{75}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Mu}{\mathord}{mathupright}{77}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Nu}{\mathord}{mathupright}{78}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Rho}{\mathord}{mathupright}{80}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Tau}{\mathord}{mathupright}{84}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\Chi}{\mathord}{mathupright}{88}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varAlpha}{\mathord}{letters}{65}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varBeta}{\mathord}{letters}{66}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varEpsilon}{\mathord}{letters}{69}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varZeta}{\mathord}{letters}{90}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varEta}{\mathord}{letters}{72}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varIota}{\mathord}{letters}{73}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varKappa}{\mathord}{letters}{75}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varMu}{\mathord}{letters}{77}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varNu}{\mathord}{letters}{78}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varRho}{\mathord}{letters}{80}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varTau}{\mathord}{letters}{84}
  \DeclareMathSymbol{\varChi}{\mathord}{letters}{88}

Thanks for the good work
