[edit] Installation of YandY+TUG Lucida Bright fonts

according to Sytse Knypstra

  1. Install lucida fonts (unzip to e.g. texmf-local tree)
  2. Copy all lucida related .afm and .pfb files to d:\temp
  3. Open a MS-DOS window; go to directory d:\temp and run 
       texfont --fontroot=d:\context\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local
   --ve=yandy --co=luc --ma --in --expert
  4. Copy files from third party modul [1] to d:\context\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\
  5. Move personal '\environment files' to d:\context\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\tex\context\user
  6. Copy the type-luc file to d:\context\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\tex\context\base
  7. Edit the file cont-sys.tex in d:\context\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\tex\context\user and add '\usetypescriptfile[type-luc] ' below the line \usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
  8. Run mktexlsr
  9. define a macro \lucida as follows: 
    \define[1]\lucida{
  \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]
  \setupformulas[method=bold]
  \setupbodyfont[luc,#1]
  \enablemathcollection[lbr]
  \input math-lbr
  \usemathcollection[lbr]
}
  10. and use it in your document as follows: 
    \lucida{10pt}
  11. It seems there is a bug in math-lbr, the bigl, bigr ans so on are really BIG (huge even) when used with lucida. math-lbr says 
    \def\LBRbig  {\@@dobig{8.20}}
\def\LBRBig  {\@@dobig{10.80}}
\def\LBRbigg {\@@dobig{13.42}}
\def\LBRBigg {\@@dobig{16.03}}
\def\LBRbiggg{\@@dobig{17.72}}
\def\LBRBiggg{\@@dobig{21.25}}

    You can replace by 

    \def\LBRbig  {\@@dobig{0.920}}
\def\LBRBig  {\@@dobig{1.080}}
\def\LBRbigg {\@@dobig{1.342}}
\def\LBRBigg {\@@dobig{1.603}}
\def\LBRbiggg{\@@dobig{1.772}}
\def\LBRBiggg{\@@dobig{2.125}}

[edit] Installation of B&H-flavoured Lucida Bright fonts

Renaud Aubin

Assumptions:

  • GNU/Linux,
  • your B&H Lucida Bright distro unpacks .afm and .pfb files in ./fonts/afm/bh/lucida and fonts/type1/bh/lucida

Procedure:

  • unpack your B&H distro to TEXMFLOCAL,
  • run 
     texfont --ve=bh --co=lucida --so=auto --fo=$TEXMFLOCAL --ma --in --expert
  • get the tfm files contained in the third party module [2] and put them to $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida
  • uncomment \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] in cont-sys.tex,
  • give it a try with: 
    \startMPenvironment[global] % use lucida for metapost too
\usetypescript[lucida][texnansi]
\usetypescript[lucidabfm][texnansi] % for bold math
\usetypescript[lucidaboldmath][texnansi] % for bold math
\setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt]
\definebodyfont[17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt][rm][bc=SerifBoldCaps sa 1,
  bca=SerifBoldCaps sa a,
  bcb=SerifBoldCaps sa b,
  bcc=SerifBoldCaps sa c,
  bcd=SerifBoldCaps sa d,
  bcx=SerifBoldCaps sa x,
  bcxx=SerifBoldCaps sa xx] % dunno if required from now

[edit] Installing Free Lucida fonts that come with Java JRE

If you happen to use Java you might have noticed that it comes with Lucida. Assuming you downloaded the jdk-6u6-linux-x64.bin and extracted it to /opt 

$ tree /opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/fonts/
/opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/fonts/
|-- LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf
|-- LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf
|-- LucidaBrightItalic.ttf
|-- LucidaBrightRegular.ttf
|-- LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
|-- LucidaSansRegular.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf
`-- fonts.dir

0 directories, 9 files

and 

$ tree /opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/oblique-fonts/
/opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/oblique-fonts/
|-- LucidaSansDemiOblique.ttf
|-- LucidaSansOblique.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterOblique.ttf
`-- fonts.dir

0 directories, 5 files

Place the *.ttf files in a dir---you might want to rename the files such that it no longer has uppercase letters---then install the fonts with the following command. 

su -c 'texfont --makepath --install --vendor=bandh --co=lucida --show'

You can see if the installation was successful by previewing the resulting pdf, namely texnansi-bandh-lucida.pdf.

Save this with the name type-lucida.tex
