Yes, but not exactly. If I use

\usepackage[altbullet]{lucidbry}

I get nice correct bullets, and this solves my problem.

If I use

\usepackage[altbullet]{lucidabr}

bullets are OK but text is CM rather than Lucida (!!!)

The files lucidabr.sty and lucidbry.sty which I have in my PC seem to refer
to the same date (1999/03/29). Actually, lucidbry.sty is very short and
points to lucidabr.sty.

Finally,

if I load package a4.sty
AFTER loading lucidbry.sty I get a shorter page than if I do the opposite.

Does anyone know the correct order to load packages?

Ciao
