[lucida] lucida fonts being overridden

I have a vexing problem regarding the installation (or perhaps use) of lucida fonts in texlive.  I bought the original Lucida Bright and Math time fonts from Y&Y a long time ago on floppies and had things working in tetex well for quite some time.  I had thus had converted fonts to .pfb a long time ago.  I think I had things working in texlive in some years ago, but really can’t remember.  I just got back into a project where I would like to produce documents with these fonts, but it seems to fail at the last hurdle.  I would certainly appreciate any help or insights anyone would have.

I checked my installation against the nice and detailed instructions of Bruno Voisin here: https://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/2007-January/027878.html.  I also carried out the steps 

	sudo mktexlsr
	sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map

and I ran a few instances of sudo texhash.  I even tried 
	sudo - H updmap-sys --disable lucida.map
	sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map
to try and make sure changes are being implemented.

I seem to be able to get the Lucida math fonts rendering, but not the fonts for text.  Instead, whatever I do, latex (or actually pdflatex) always wants to use other fonts 

To show what happens, I compiled the small latex file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{lucidabr}
\begin{document}
Here’s some text. And here’s some math:
\[
  \phi(x)=\int_{-\infty}^{x} e^{-x^{2}/2}
\]
Euro and copyright symbols are available:
\texteuro \textcopyright \textbullet.
\end{document}

and got the following output

In other cases I got text rendered using urw/times/utmr8a.pfb.

I tried rolling back to earlier texlive distributions, but got the same behaviour, so I suspect it’s me not them.  Are there any tests I can do to figure out what’s going on?

Thanks, Henry
