[yandytex] bigger itemize item bullet with Lucida Bright fonts?

[Murray Eisenberg]

That's embarrassing -- to have written about the same thing 3 years ago 
and to have forgetten.

Actually, I'm trying to get this to work with PCTeX's lucimatx package, 
too, which does not allow the altbullet option.  I had to do it manually 
with that, by adding separately to my .tex source the code:

\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{%
  {\UseTextSymbol{OMS}\textbullet}}
