what is this hlhr8r? a font filename?

hlhr8r -> /usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida/hlhr8r.tfm
It sets the metapost's defaultfont but maybe there is another method than give a .tfm file I don't know.

()when installing lbr using texfont, did you (manually) move the math pfb files and tfm files? 

(maybe i should distribute the lbr math tfm files)

I have the lbr math tfm files and they work fine in my document.
