One way to use Lucida (or any other non-standard) fonts in Illustrator
is to convert them to Postscript outlines first. Thus, if you convert
a PDF file to a Postscript file with pdf2ps (not pdftops), the fonts
seem to be converted to outline graphics objects. The file can be
converted back to PDF (using pstopdf say, or Distiller), or the
Postscript file can opened as is in Illustrator, and the fonts appear
okay. However, this is a bit of a kluge as you can't easily edit the
text anymore, because Illustrator sees the glyphs as graphics and not
text.
