Gary Gray has posted detailed instructions several times, either in  
messages to this list or somewhere on the Mac-TeX site, I don't  
remember exactly where.

Briefly, here's what's in my Lucida font directories:

As to the exact renaming, you can get hints from

	/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/map/dvips/lucida/lucidabr.map
	/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/map/dvips/lucida/lumath.map

(the PostScript names, that you used, are the second names on each  
line, and the names of the PFB files are the last names on each line).  
It's also described in the documentation of the lucidabr package,  
unfortunately missing from teTeX but available from CTAN  
<ftp://ftp.cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/ 
lucidabr/lucidabr.dtx>.

Don't use the makefile  
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/fonts/bh/makefile mentioned by  
Will Adams: it's here for converting from the original Y&Y names (such  
as lbr.pfb) to Karl-Berry-style file names (such as hlhr8a.pfb), not  
from the PostScript names (such as LucidaBright) to Y&Y names (such as  
lbr.pfb).

If for some reason you ever choose Karl-Berry-style names, then you'll  
have to run in Terminal:

	sudo updmap --disable lucidabr.map
	sudo updmap --disable lumath.map
	sudo updmap --enable Map lucidabr-k.map
	sudo updmap --enable Map lumath-k.map

If, on the other hand, you plan to use Lucida fonts with plain TeX, you  
must choose Y&Y names and make sure you have run:

	sudo updmap --enable Map lucidabr-o.map
	sudo updmap --enable Map lumath-o.map

Hope this helps,
