I tried that, but it seems not enough to define:

mathematics.make_font ( "lucida-math", {
    { name = "lucidabright", features = "virtualmath", main = true },
    { name = "lucidanewmathroman", vector = "traditional-mr" } ,
    { name = "lucidanewmathitalic", vector = "traditional-mi", skewchar=0x7F
},
    { name = "lucidanewmathsymbol", vector = "traditional-sy",
skewchar=0x30, parameters = true } ,
    { name = "lucidanewmathextension", vector = "traditional-ex", extension
= true } ,
    { name = "msam10", vector = "traditional-ma" },
    { name = "msbm10", vector = "traditional-mb" },
} )

(I don't know in which of the lucida fontfiles the symbols a and b are
located.)

I would be glad to test math for the good old LucidaBright fonts.
I'm not smart enough to prepare this myself.

I had an old version of cambria cached in

C:\contextminimal\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\context\...\fonts

After deleting them spacing is ok. But the \bigotimes operator from my
example file now disappeared.

Should I send the output of:

\usetypescript[cambria]
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
\usemodule[fnt-25]
\starttext
\showmathfontcharacters
\stoptext

to somebody? (130 pages, 458 kB)
