Tex and Lucida fonts

[Jochen Autschbach]

On my computers (Win XP with MiKTeX and RedHat 8.x with teTeX) all I
needed to do was to copy the font files (*.pfm, *.afm) to some
directory  under /usr/share/texmf/fonts (all lowercase file names) or
c/localtexmf/fonts, rebuild the filename database (with "texconfig" for
teTeX, or "initexmf -u" for MiKTeX, maybe I also ran "initexmf
--mkmaps") and both the MathTime and Lucida fonts were usable without
further changes. In both cases the support files for YandY fonts were
already installed.

For the lucida fonts I use
\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}       % specify text font encoding
\usepackage[LY1]{lucidabr}      % switch text and math fonts

or

\usepackage{lucidbry}  %% I think this is equivalent to the above

Later I changed the setup on my WinXP system a bit because I use both
MiKTeX and YandY and I didn't want to have the same fonts installed in
two different directories. For that, I added c:\WINDOWS\Fonts to the
PSPath and Type1Path variables in miktex.ini.
