David,
Which operating system are you on?
All I can think of as the "easy way" is the possibility listed in cont-sys:
% Some styles default to Lucida Bright. You can overload
% Lucida by Times cum suis. Watch out, the pos collection
% is not scaled relatively.
%
% \definetypescriptsynonym [lbr] [pos]
Which is to say, if you don't have the fonts, all you can do is choose a
substitute. If you do have the font *installed*, then it would be:
\usetypescript[lbr]
And, the reason why I ask which operating system you're on is because a
lot of systems have 12 of the Lucida fonts installed because of Java. On
MacOSX, with Java 1.4.1, I have a texfont install with symbolic links to
the .ttf files. If there's a canonical linux install location for Java,
the same thing could be done there, I think.
(I'm planning on releasing some Mac OS X/ConTeXt "tricks" soon, but I
need to debug the font issues with gwTeX first.)
Cheers,
adam
