Ok, the aforementioned lucida 1.803 is available for download now
(through the urls sent when the fonts were purchased). No charge.
NEWS below.

By the way, people here may be interested in Herbert Voss's lucida-otf
package (he has already updated it accordingly). Since Lucida is not
free (in any sense :), you need to get his package through CTAN:
  https://ctan.org/pkg/lucida-otf
Thanks Herbert!

Happy typesetting,
Karl

- The *-Demi fonts now consistently use "Demibold" in all internal
names and values (before, just "Demi" was sometimes used). The filenames
are unchanged.
 LucidaBrightOT-Demi.otf
 LucidaBrightOT-DemiItalic.otf
 LucidaSansOT-Demi.otf
 LucidaSansOT-DemiItalic.otf
(The bold math font, LucidaBrightMathOT-Demi.otf, did not need any changes.)
The hope is that system font lookups will be able to classify these
fonts more reliably.

The Lucida Sans Typewriter bold fonts now have the intended W3C weight
number of 600 (instead of 700), given in the usWeightClass parameter.
 LucidaSansTypewriterOT-Bold.otf
 LucidaSansTypewriterOT-BoldOblique.otf
