Lucida fonts

Lucida fonts

[Troy Henderson]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 386 bytes --]

I have recently installed TeXLive 2012, and my Lucida (Type 1) fonts from
TUG are installed in the texmf-local tree and function properly when using
TeXLive 2011, but it seems that ConTeXt cannot find the fonts for 2012.
The instuctions on the wiki do not seem to add a solution for me.

I would appreciate any help in the process for installing these fonts for
TL2012.

more complete

Would I have to pay for the OpenType versions since I have already
purchased the Type1 versions?

yes, but the fonts are relatively cheap (esp for members) and you get a lot

"relatively" is the keyword here as they are the same price that I paid for
the Type 1 fonts 3 years ago.  So, according to the store website, I
essentially have to buy them again.

it's more 'relative' to what other commercial fonts cost (whenever we 
have to do that for a project we end up many times higher than the full 
set of lucidas which also includes math)

I was able to get the Type 1 versions working.  It seems that the problem
the whole time was an orphan kpsewhich living in /usr/bin.  After removing
it, TL2012's kpsewhich took over and everything is fine.

Actually, you should apply for a special discount :P

As soon as you have bought the fonts and started complaining about
semi-broken functionality of Lucida while I was sitting behind Hans in
Brejlov two years ago, this triggered the project of creating OpenType
Lucida (and probably forced us to fix major problems in Type1 for
MKII/MKIV). So it's partially your fault that OpenType Lucida exists
in the first place. Blame yourself for the extra choice&price you are
offered now ;)

But Hans already told you back then: "don't use Lucida", didn't he?

I guess I will take responsibility for my own actions then. ;)  Actually,
as long as the Type 1 fonts continue to work, I presume I have no need for
anything more.  Perhaps I'm just somewhat ignorant about fonts and have no
idea what "more complete" (as Hans said) means when comparing the OpenType
version to the Type 1 version.  If I was given a list of things that are
included in the OpenType font that I do not currently have access to in the
Type 1 version, then I would at least know what I was "missing".

Lucida Fonts

[David Arnold]

All,

Now that YandY is defunct, where would one now purchase the Lucida  
font. We used to be able to get the entire set from YandY, math  
included. Does that set still exist and where can it be purchased?

The set with math will soon be available from the TeX Users Group.

transfered to and hosted by tug)

in principle it should be possible to use the system lucida fonts; i never tried 
this but if someone figures that out we can add support to the distribution

else you have to buy them (teh right ones); concerning metrics, if needed i can 
send a zip with metrics, but they are of no use without the type 1 files.

It seems that nothing is known yet, you should subscribe/ask on
the yandytex support mailing list, I guess. It is linked from
