It is impossible to have two differently named pfb's
that have the same INTERNAL font name.
I see. Then my only idea is to internally edit the FontName's in the
pfb's and the pfm's in the new h*.pf[bm] copies.
Doing this in the pfb's is relatively easy, but I do not know how to do
it with the pfm's. Just editing the pfm in Emacs did not work, as you
(I think it was you) reported after I tried to go do this for the
LucidaSansTypewriter-BoldOblique craziness.
And whether or not that would work, even with the /FontName change,
there's no telling.
So I think part of the problem may be that the Lucida fonts themselves
are using old internal names
Not "old". Both the /FontName's in the pfb's and the l* filenames are
the same as they ever were. No changes.
while the tfm's and/or lucimatx package are
establishing different names.
lucimatx uses the new h* tfm's, nothing else, as I understand it. In
TeX, the names used for the tfm's and pfb's and /FontName's are all
completely independent, and always have been. Those h* names have also
existed for many years (as the psnfss support).
Best,
