[lucida] Lucida Greek

    The jre distro contains the lucida true type fonts. What about the (X11)
    type1/ postscript counterparts ?

    For example take a look at the
    '/usr/openwin/lib/locale/iso_8859_7/X11/fonts/Type1/LucidaSansGreek.pfb'
    at
    http://theunixguys.com/cgi-bin/sunpkg/index.cgi?detail=SUNWi7rf

That url doesn't work for me ("Software error").

In any event, if you personally have Lucida pfb's that legally came with
your operating system, I expect it is fine to use them.  Downloading
random Lucida fonts found on the net does not seem right.

>From what I remember in the past, B&H does not like it when their fonts
are automatically converted from one format to another, so I can't
advise going that route, either.

I hope we will be able to offer them through TUG at some point.

Best,
Karl
