Hi Murray,
1. Where do I put what in the YandY directory tree in order to install
the latest lucidabr package?
I don't think the "new" lucida fonts will work with yytex at all (as I
say somewhere on the tug web pages, don't I?). It uses virtual fonts
and yytex doesn't support those.
I already have the Y&Y-supplied Lucida family of fonts installed
from years ago.
I don't think you need the current lucidabr at all. The fonts (pfb's)
themselves are 100% the same as what yy distributed. (If you want a
refund, let me know. :)
There were no significant changes to the lucidabr macros, either, that I
recall. It was all documentation, etc. Except maybe the oldstyle
number stuff, which gets back to needing virtual fonts ...
2. Same question but for the PCTeX-supplied newer -- and, it seems to
me, much more convenient -- Lucida support package lucimatx.
Have to ask pctex about that. (Their pfb's are also 100% the same as
the old yy, BTW, we're all distributing the same thing at that level.)
and, it seems to me, much more convenient
FWIW, I hope that Morten or another volunteer will be able to improve
lucidabr.dtx over time.
Thanks,
karl
