Does that mean that it would be enough to say simply

   \setmainfont{LucidaBrightOT.otf}
   \setsansfont{LucidaSansOT.otf}
   \setmonofont{LucidaSansTypewriterOT.otf}
   \setmathfont{LucidaBrightMathOT.otf}

instead of what is in the example:

   \setmainfont[% main font
         ItalicFont=LucidaBrightOT-Italic.otf,
           BoldFont=LucidaBrightOT-Demi.otf,
     BoldItalicFont=LucidaBrightOT-DemiItalic.otf,
     ]{LucidaBrightOT.otf}

etc? That seems not to work yet:  I get errors like

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `EU1/LucidaBrightOT.otf(0)/bx/n' undefined
(Font)              using `EU1/LucidaBrightOT.otf(0)/m/n' instead on input line 79.

Would it still be necessary to add
 
   \setmathfont[version=bold]{LucidaBrightMathOT-Demi.otf}

Would the new .fontspec file make it work? I don't see any .fontspec file in the existing configuration.

I would suggest only making it work with the latest versions. There is nothing stopping people from getting TL-14, and (once they know about it), running tlmgr as often as necessary. Making it work with arbitrary combinations of old versions seems like an impossible task.

Many thanks,
