[lucida] installation

[ivo welch]

dear TeXperts:

I am trying to upgrade to the TeXLive distribution.  Alas, not
everything is rosy in my tex-land, even though I tried to follow
instructions religiously.  First, I purged my old tetex, and purged all
tex related environment variables.  I also killed ~/.tex* .   Then I
installed texlive 2007 on my amd64 linux gentoo system.  The
installation went well and TL seems to work.

I then tried what I thought were the lucida installation steps:

 # cd /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/ ; unzip lucida.zip   # from ctan
    # this leaves me with a /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/lucida/ hierarchy
 # cp l*.pfb /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/local/bh/lucida/  # from purchase
    # note the above is a hybrid path, reading the lucida install file and noting that
    # lucida.zip creates /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/local/
 # texhash
 # updmap


Next, I created my small test file

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
% shameless copy: I am not sure what this does, but I presume it should work
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp} % to get the right copyright, etc. % use Lucida
fonts for both text and math.
\usepackage[altbullet]{lucidabr}     % get larger bullet
\DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{hlh}{1}  % including \oldstylenums
\begin{document}
{\LARGE Print me} ok \par
hello world\par
\end{document}
% The following causes a complete error --- maybe because it does try to
load lucida
\title{hi}
\author{me}
\maketitle
\end{document}


The sample file compiles, but it works only because it seems to use
computer-modern as its font.  if I comment out the \end{document} in the
middle, then lucida seems to want to load (good), but not work (bad).  I
get the following:

There must be some obvious magic font step I am missing.  can someone
who knows please fill me in?

sincerely,
