[lucida] install Lucida Bright OpenType for TeXLive (2024-03-21 release)

[Bruno Voisin]

Hi Hong,

Briefly (I'm in a rush): the configuration of ConTeXt is presently broken in TeX Live.

TeX Live, as defined in texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf (ie TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOGRANDPARENT/texmf-local), provides

texlive/2024/texmf-dist
texlive/texmf-local

And thus

% kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFLOCAL
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local

ConTeXt, as defined in texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (ie TEXMFLOCAL = "selfautoparent:texmf-local"), expects

texlive/2024/texmf-dist
texlive/2024/texmf-local

And thus

% mtxrun --resolve-path TEXMFLOCAL
/usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-local

See https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2024-March/050298.html

I don't know what can be done, probably won't have time to investigate today. And anyway, I don't know Lua, so I'm out of ideas.

Bruno
