[OS X TeX] Lucida Bright from Y&Y and TexLive

[Rick Gray]

It's hard to write good (and complete) directions, and you did a  
wonderful job of it, Bruno.  Thanks.  Two colleagues and I published  
a textbook with MIT Press in 1995 that I typeset in LaTeX on a NeXT  
using the Lucida Bright fonts.  We're getting ready to write a 2nd  
edition and I had been trying (unsuccessfully) to get the Lucida  
fonts working with modern LaTeX under Mac OS X.  Finding your  
instructions (and having them work perfectly) was wonderful for me,  
and I'm very grateful you took the time to share your knowledge with  
us.  It also led me to join the MacOSX-TeX mailing list, which I have  
also found useful (thanks to the other Dr. Gray for that).
