Added a note about Lucida being a commercial (although cheap) font.
< [[Main Page]] | [[Fonts]] >
== Installation of Lucida font provided by TUG == NB. The lucidabr and lucida packages on CTAN are free, but the Lucida fontsare not: you must order them from TUG or another source to actuallytypeset anything in Lucida. The TUG Lucida web pages explain thedetails -- see [http://tug.org/store/lucida/ TUG's Lucida page]. {{note|On October 12, 2011, Hans mentioned that otf package of these fonts is imminent and thus it is better to wait for that and forget about the type1 versions.}} === Installation === * extract [http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/install/fonts/psfonts/bh/lucida.zip CTAN/install/fonts/psfonts/bh/lucida.zip] into <code>texmf-fonts</code> (or <code>texmf-local</code>)* copy all <code>*.pfb</code> files into <code>texmf-fonts/fonts/type1/bh/lucida</code>* run <code>mktexlsr</code> and <code>mtxrun --generate</code> === Usage === In MKII:<texcode>\usetypescript[lucida][ec]\setupbodyfont[lucida]</texcode> In MKIV:<texcode>\setupbodyfont[lucida]</texcode> == Old instructions == The instructions below might be outdated.

<ol>

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
<texcode>
\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}}
</texcode>
You can replace by
<texcode>
\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}}
</texcode>

=== Installation of B&H-flavoured Lucida Bright fonts ===

=== 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
<texcode>
$ 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
</texcode>
and
<texcode>
$ 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
</texcode>
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.
<texcode>
su -c 'texfont --makepath --install --vendor=bandh --co=lucida --show'
</texcode>
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
