I use Lucida, but not the Y&Y distribution, but a recently bought from  
TUG, so I can't tell what your lucidbry.sty looks like; but maybe,  
*just maybe*, if you add the font encoding information the PS file  
will come out right:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lucidbry}

Best,

Axel
