A question about Lucida fonts

A question about Lucida fonts

Hi,

I would like to buy the set of Lucida fonts from TUG
	https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html <https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html>
but I am wondering which flavor, Open Type or Type 1, is supposed to work smoothly (and easily…) with ConTeXt mkiv. Actually a very long time ago I bought those fonts from yandy.com <http://yandy.com/>, but those were designed to work only on a Mac OS 9 (yes I am so that old… :-).

Since I am sure some people on the mailing list have an experience and good advices to share, I would appreciate having their opinion.

Best regards: OK

Thanks Hans for your quick reply! 
I guess the file type-imp-lucida-opentype.mkiv is there to take care of everything when using the font: so once I have the fonts, and ConTeXt knows where they are,
can I use them just by saying
	\setupbodyfont[lucida]
or are there other commands to issue?

Many thanks for your precious help: OK
