Hi Stefan,

Have you looked at

	https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/type1.html

It includes links to the installation instructions

	https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/README-type1.txt

to the support files for the fonts (tfm et al, including the map file)

	https://ctan.org/pkg/lucida
	https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/bh/lucida

(the first link is the ready-to-install package, organised according to the TeX Directory Structure, and the second link the files it's based on), and to the LaTeX package lucidabr

	https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lucidabr
	https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/lucidabr

(same).

Hope this works,

Bruno Voisin
