I just converted and installed the Lucida Bright fonts (expert, math,
everything) that I used to use with Textures (if anyone has trouble, I can
now provide excruciating detail on how to do it). It all works wonderfully,
but I only had to use:

\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}

to get what I wanted. I include the "expert" option to get bold math fonts.

[1] Do I need to specify the encoding?

[2] What does the "bm" package do that I can't get with "amsmath"?

In addition, I noticed that when I use:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}
\usepackage{amsmath}

I get different versions of the AMS symbols when compared to using:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}

It appears that in the former, I am getting the Lucida versions and in the
latter the Computer Modern/AMS versions. Is this the proper behavior?

Thank you,
