[lucida] Problems with Installation

[ulrike demske]

I am sorry that I still have questions:
1. When I download the distribution, I get - without any chance to interfere - a folder 'lucida-type1'. This is not a zip file!

2. Inside this folder are alreday the following subfolders: doc, fonts, source, tex.

3. Only inside the source folder is a zip file: source/fonts/lucida/lucida-fontinst.zip.
 
4. When I double click on this zip file, I get a folder lucida-fontinst, containing nothing but tex and mtx files:





5. The other folders are not empty, they include the afm, pfb, tfm files at the right places.

I am certainly no techie, since I do not understand where I need the files included in the zip file, s. above. On the other hand, I believe that all the files I need, afm, tfm etc. are at the right places. And I certainly do not see, why the system tells me I wouldn't find anything.

Not to be taken by the letter though: it's something I built myself based on the support files from CTAN plus fonts purchased from PCTeX not TUG, so the way TUG organizes files in their lucida-type1.zip may be slightly different; there is the lucimatx LaTeX package -- an alternative to lucidabr -- which is from PCTeX and isn't provided by TUG; and my texmf-local contains many other things, I tried to remove manually in the listing everything's that's not lucida, but I was short on time and probably forgot things.
