 Lucida Bright is a commercial font, you have to buy it to use it. Tex 
comes with the mappings set up, but not the font itself. Depending on which 
families you want, it could total several hundred dollars... ;)

Other than that, you need to check for the fonts and their mappings in the 
TEX distro you are using.
