I have seen here below that option "expert" is still used....
Documentation for options to lucidabr package
And it works with MikTeX installation....

-----------------
about which updmap complained. For that since I had "you have no permission" messages I had to create a root user (you always learn something new...). After that I ran again sudo mktexlsr and sudo updmap-sys and now I can get my tex files with lucida fonts in them.
Frankly, I am not a geek but, as they say, "I am not afraid of the command line". I know tons of tex users who would not come out alive from this...
Well, thanks (I hope this is the end...)
BTW: do you have an explanation of this?

Hi all!Nope, it didn't work.
Now I get
------
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+70/600 --dpi 670 hlcrv
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for hlcrv. mktexpk: perhaps hlcrv is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.----------------
I tried to mimic the lucida installation folders and paths of Bruno, and after that I have run
sudo mktexlsr
and then
sudo updmap-sys
I noticed that in my localtexmf folder coming from my earlier (working...) MikTeX installs both on Win and on iMac I missed some files which were listed in Bruno's installation. I downloaded them from CTAN. Is this the same thing or there is some missmatch due to different releases of Lucida (I have very old files from Y&Y and BlueSky ....) over the years?
I could post the mktexlsr.log and updmap.log
updmap-sys did complain like this:
-------------------
WARNING: updmap has found mismatched files!
The following files have been generated as listed above,
but will not be found because overriding files exist, listed below.
Perhaps you have run updmap-user in the past, but are running updmap-sys
now. Once you run updmap-user the first time, you have to keep using it,
or else remove the personal configuration files it creates (the ones
listed below).

---------------------
Yes, I did run updmap-user in the past. But then I uninstalled texlive completey and started a new fresh install, which works. Does macos or texlive remember forever?
Thanks again!

Hi Maurizio, hi Reinhard,
For some reason I didn't get Maurizio's original message but got Reinhard's answer (I checked the Junk mailboxes, Maurizio's message isn't there).
Anyway, a classical problem on the Mac is having a combination of
- per-user setup, located in ~/Library/texlive/<year>/texmf-var/fonts/map/updmap/ and managed via updmap, and
- system-wide setup, located in /usr/local/texlive/<year>/texmf-var/fonts/map/updmap/ and managed via "sudo updmap-sys".
In that event, once the per-user setup is created by running "updmap" (without the -sys) it is the only one that is taken into account, no matter what. Whatever you put in texmf-local and whatever you do with updmap-sys afterwards, it won't matter.
In case that's the cause of your problem, just trash ~/Library/texlive/<year>/texmf-var/fonts/map/updmap/ and redo the magic with updmap-sys.
Personally I haven't run "sudo updmap-sys --enable [...]" or similar in years. What I do is create a file /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/updmap.cfg containing lines like
Map lucida.map
then run "sudo updmap-sys" (it is run automatically at the end of the MacTeX install process). You're done! See "texdoc updmap".
Attached is a listing of my Lucida Type 1 install, which is working on an M1 MacBook Pro with MacTeX 2023 (over the years I have used various Lucida setups, originally one for the Mac purchased from Blue Sky Research in the 1990s -- fonts in LWFN format and metrics in suitcase format -- which I converted to teTeX, gwTex then MacTeX -- fonts in PFB format and metrics in TFM and VF formats -- by the turn of the century, then new setups purchased from TUG and PCTeX).
Hope this works,
Bruno
