It seems I was the only one to receive your answer of yesterday. To make sure the answer goes to the list as well, use Reply-All instead of Reply.

In particular, once you have run updmap (without the -sys), willingly or not, the per-user setup has been created and will take precedence: whatever you do in texmf-local and with updmap-sys afterwards, it will have no effect whatsoever.

Bruno, just for my understanding: I had to add Lucida.map to the file ~/Libary/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg to make the use of the Lucida-font happen (after this running updmap-user and all is working). Correct way to do this? I guess, without this the Lucida font can’t be used.
