I'm sorry, I'm telling you nonsense. There are no Greek letters in
LucidaBrightOT, but they are present in LucidaBrightMathOT. The italic
version starts at 1D6FC and the regural one is in the "normal" Greek
range.

See math-map.lua. If you need any help or explanation, please ask. I
believe that the following part might be relevant (but only if you
need italic):

    lcgreek   = {
        [0x03B1]=0x1D6FC, [0x03B2]=0x1D6FD, [0x03B3]=0x1D6FE,
[0x03B4]=0x1D6FF, [0x03B5]=0x1D700,
        [0x03B6]=0x1D701, [0x03B7]=0x1D702, [0x03B8]=0x1D703,
[0x03B9]=0x1D704, [0x03BA]=0x1D705,
        [0x03BB]=0x1D706, [0x03BC]=0x1D707, [0x03BD]=0x1D708,
[0x03BE]=0x1D709, [0x03BF]=0x1D70A,
        [0x03C0]=0x1D70B, [0x03C1]=0x1D70C, [0x03C2]=0x1D70D,
[0x03C3]=0x1D70E, [0x03C4]=0x1D70F,
        [0x03C5]=0x1D710, [0x03C6]=0x1D711, [0x03C7]=0x1D712,
[0x03C8]=0x1D713, [0x03C9]=0x1D714,
        [0x03D1]=0x1D717, [0x03D5]=0x1D719, [0x03D6]=0x1D71B,
[0x03F0]=0x1D718, [0x03F1]=0x1D71A,
        [0x03F4]=0x1D6F3, [0x03F5]=0x1D716,
    },

For regular variant of Lucida it should be enough to use Math font
instead of the normal one, but I didn't test or write any code for it.
For LM you would have to use the italic version since upright (without
resorting to cm-unicode) looks horrible anyway.
