All,
This is my third message to the list, all pertaining to LaTeX being unable to find the Lucida OT fonts.
As previously reported, I can typeset correctly and uneventfully when accessing the Lucida OT fonts via system lookups. This means that I can typeset the test file "lucidaot-sys-example.tex".
The problem was and remains that I cannot typeset the test file “lucidaot.tex”, which finds the Lucida OT fonts via file names in the TeX trees. Here’s a MWE for the lucidaot.tex file. I inserted the \end{document} command early since the shortened file suffices to illustrate the problem.

% Slightly reduce font size.

\end{document}
The document fails to typeset because it cannot find LucidaBrightOT.otf. Here’s the console output. Notice the message
"! Package fontspec Error: The font "LucidaBrightOT" cannot be found.”

—————End console output———————
Responding to a previous query, Bruno Voisin kindly advised that I should run the command "sudo mktexlsr” on the Terminal. I did, but the file still failed to typeset. The console output listed above was produced _after_ I ran sudo mktexlsr on the Terminal.
I do have a workaround since I can typeset using system lookups. So I can do my work. But the inability to find the Lucida OT fonts via file names on the TeX trees could be a symptom of other problems and I would like to clean it up.
I appreciate advice on this matter and thank everybody in advance.
BTW, I’m using an M1 MacBook Pro with Monterey 12.2.1. I use the editor TeXShop 4.72.
Thanks.
