These error occurs at the time pdfTeX tries to include the Lucida PFB font files in its PDF output. For example, with the document I'm currently working on I get

{/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]

Output written on decrease.pdf (7 pages, 464055 bytes).

In the first case, the information in your pdftex.map is correct (ie, it includes information for Lucida fonts), but lbr.pfb either can't be found or once found can't be read.

In the second case, the information in pdftex.map is incorrect (since you removed the content of lucidabr.map and lumath.map from it), hence hlhr8y.tfm cannot be linked to lbr.pfb, pdfTeX thinks it's an old-style bitmap font hlhr8y.670pk to be generated on-the-fly from a METAFONT input file hlhr8y.mf which doesn't exist, then crashes.

Hence I think that either:

- The file name database wasn't updated after installation of the PFB font files, or

- The file format of the PFB files was corrupted during installation.

If the first, then the following may help (beware I'm not a Windows nor MikTeX user hence the following is essentially guesses based on information gathered from the web). If the second, then maybe reinstallation may help, but only provided you kept a copy of the original unaltered Y&Y files.

> Map lucidabr-o.map
> Map lumath-o.map
> Map lucidabr.map
> Map lumath.map

The fact that you have lucidabr.map and lumath.map indicates you're using an old setup. A few years back, these two files have been merged into lucida.map (and lucidabr-o.map and lumath-o.map suppressed) when the last release of the Type 1 Lucida fonts was prepared. This probably won't change a thing here, but to be on the safe side I would recommend downloading

http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/lucidabr
http://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/bh/lucida

and replace the Lucida support files in your setup with the new files (except for the PFB font files, of course). Based on your log, you could alternatively just install the updated setup in your user space at

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\

to take precedence over the obsolete files apparently included in MikTeX at

d:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\

When that is done, I have the impression based on TUG's installation instructions

http://tug.org/store/lucida/README-type1.txt

that on MikTeX two things need to be done:

	initexmf --update-fndb

so that the addition of the PFB font files and support files is registered in MikTeX's file name database, and

	initexmf --mkmaps

so that your edition of updmap.cfg is taken into account and pdftex.map regenerated accordingly.

I know nothing about .ali files, but based on CTAN's lucida package they seem to be a specific form of map files used by VTeX, replacing lucida.map for it and meant to go inside $TEXMF$/fonts/map/vtex/lucida/. Hence for MikTeX it seems irrelevant.

Based on your logs, it seems you're using new-style TFM files like hlhr8y.tfm, not old-style files like lbr.tfm. Hence the following is probably unnecessary. If you want to be on the safe side though, here's what to do:

- Keep lucida-o.map and lumath-o.map, make them known to updmap as before (ie edit updmap.cfg, then run "initexmf --mkmaps").

- Create the required symlinks. Based on <http://www.windows7home.net/how-to-create-symbolic-link-in-windows-7/>, my impression is that you would need, in the Windows command line, to first cd to the directory where the TFM fonts reside, something like

cd C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\fonts\tfm\bh\lucida

and then use mklink to create the symlinks, again something like

mklink /d hlcbot8y.tfm lbtbo.tfm
mklink /d hlcbt8y.tfm lbtb.tfm
mklink /d hlcda.tfm lbmad.tfm
mklink /d hlcdim.tfm lbmdi.tfm

So it seems you're processing directly a document residing on the cloud in your OneDrive space? That is probably totally transparent, as is iCloud storage on the Mac, but to be sure you could try to copy the document to your local drive, then see what happens with pdfTeX.

That's probably as far as my help can go. Hoping it will work,
