[yandytex] Lucida fonts with lucimatx in YandY: TeX's OK, preview bombs

[Murray Eisenberg]

Unfortunately, it is not self-explanatory to me.  My basic question is 
how does the previewer (and print driver) know which pfb file to 
associate with which tmf-name/alias-name pair?

In some cases, the tfm internally has the name of the actual pbf file. 
For example, inside hlcrm.tfm I find the string "LBMR", and there is a 
font file lbmr.psb.  But in other cases this is not the case.  For 
example, inside hlhr8y.tfm I find NO string naming an actual pfb file 
nor, for that matter, giving a longer name for a font.  (The only 
human-readable strings I find in there is: "TeX typewriter and Windows 
ANSI" and then "Y&Y" and then "LucidBri".)
