Hi!

I own Lucida Fonts (from Y&Y when this company was still in business)
which I use with MikTeX 2.6 and 2.7. I have also installed and used
Lucida Fonts on the PORTABLE version of MikTeX 2.8 (USB memory stick)
and it works.

I write in the preamble:

\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage[altbullet,expert,nofontinfo,lucidascale]{lucidabr}

(of course I am using Windows).

I don't remember I had big issues installing and using Lucida on such
version of MikTeX but I do NOT have (yet) any experience about MikTeX
2.8 on a Hard Drive.

I have only tried direct pdf output with pdflatex on MikTeX 2.8
(portable)...

Let me know if you think I might help. Lucida are certainly worth the
effort...

Cheers,
Maurizio
