That was something else (characters were actually missing/wrong in
both Iwona pfb & tfm).

I'm only guessing now, but I suspect that the following definition for
math in lucida are not pointless (and such definitions are missing for
antykwa):

\def\LBRbig  {\@@dobig{8.20}}
...
\startrawmathcollection[lbr]

\definemathcommand [big]   {\LBRbig}


I don't understand why math has to be redefined almost completely for
every font that one wants to use, but I'm no TeX expert anyway, so I
can't really judge or do anything about it.
