sorry, i am unable to help with this specific problem.  i only
use the ms macros and use tex for anything more.

however, just fyi:

the license for the lucida* fonts prohibits the creation
of derivative fonts.  redistribution is only allowed with
plan9, which is as specific as the license gets.  other
forks of plan9 still include them.  the license is at:

/lib/font/bit/lucida/NOTICE

the vera bitstream fonts.  you can download the set
that has been converted to plan9's font format here:

there is also ttf2subf which will convert true-type fonts
to the plan9 format.

/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/ttf2subf

if you are using plan9port on a mac, the p9p font server will
let you use your mac fonts as well.
