Howdy,

I use the Lucida Math Fonts (lucbmath package) with Hoeffler Text and it
look fairly nice.

Since you're using XeTeX the .pfb fonts aren't being used. XeTeX is actually
trying to use the original Lucida Bright fonts that are in your Classic
Fonts Folder, the ones you used with Textures, since those are the ones that
OS X ``knows about.'' Most likely the problem is that the Lucida New Math
fonts aren't ``installed'' by default. To ``install'' them try double
clicking on the screen font document for Lucida New Math. Font Book should
open windows for each font and tell it to install the fonts.

Good Luck,
