Maybe here is the problem: Downloading the fonts from the website gives me a folder 'lucida-type1', containing the subfolders: doc, fonts, source, tex. What I did then, was to place the subfolders in the places I thought appropriate. Opening the source folder I found fonts/lucida/lucida-fontinst.zip. Unzipping this file gave me fonts/lucida/lucida-fontinst with a number of mtx and tex files. As my next steps I did run "sudo -H mktexlsr" and "sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map".
