OK, now I understand it. After some time of playing (before this
thread was started) I came out with some definitions like these:

% at least the basic ones which are needed for a document to compile properly
\definefontsynonym [lbmr] [hlcrm]   [encoding=default]
\definefontsynonym [lbmo] [hlcrima] [encoding=default]
\definefontsynonym [lbms] [hlcry]   [encoding=default]
\definefontsynonym [lbme] [hlcrv]   [encoding=default]
\definefontsynonym [lbma] [hlcra]   [encoding=default]

\definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbr]   [hlhr8y]  [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbd]   [hlhb8y]  [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbsl]  [hlhro8y] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbi]   [hlhri8y] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbdi]  [hlhbi8y] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbrsc] [hlhrc8y] [encoding=texnansi]

\loadmapfile[lucida.map]
\usetypescript[lucida][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[lucida]

But then again I didn't understand how it was possible that so many
people were using lucida without any problems. (And that it was only
me who had problems installing the font - I simply took all the files
from the "LaTeX world" and forgot about using texfont, which caused me
some headaches until now anyway.)

> \usetypescript[lucida][\defaultencoding]

Hmmm ... Yesterday I figured out that lucida doesn't support EC (ie.
doens't have enough glyphs to cover Slovenian and Croatian). I guess
that only texnansi is a sensible choice. :(

(I hoped that empty slots in Hans's manuals were a consequence of
faulty ec.enc files, but now I figured out that the font has indeed
many glhyps missing.)
