[lucida] Arrows in Lucida OpenType

[Mau V]

This is what I get with:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage[T1,altbullet,expert,nofontinfo,lucidascale]%{lucidabr}


\begin{document}

$+\hspace{-4pt}\rightarrow\hspace{-4pt}-$

\end{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I bought my Lucida years ago....

Hi,

Mhh. Strange. Just to convince you that I have not gone nuts, I have produced tiny samples with lualatex, xelatex and context.

Please forgive me the "big" attachments.

I used following TeX versions:
LuaTeX, Version beta-0.76.0-2013061708  (TeX Live 2013) (rev 4627)
XeTeX 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3-2013060708 (TeX Live 2013)
ConTeXt 2014.02.14 17:07
