[lucida] Lucida & Unicode — lualatex/OTF/UTF-8

[Calum Mackay]

hi Herbert,

Unfortunately, your method seems at odds with the lucida-otf pkg (or 
vice versa!); if I add:

	\usepackage{lucida-otf}

to your example below, it chokes on the ⅙:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.10 ⅙
        ℃  \& ℉
