Lucida is somewhat special. Context has always supported lucida but used 
the original lucida names (lbr.* etc). However, when tig took over from 
yandy it decided not to ship those files and as a result lucida became 
unuseable. Recently we adapted the typescripts to mkiv (and mkii). Math 
was also done again (lucida had its own math vector but the files that 
tug shipped were tuned for latex.).

So, for mkiv you need the latest typescript files for lucida 
(type-otf.mkiv etc), there should also be a lucida-math.flg file that 
defines the virtual open type math variant).
