Re: Lucida Fonts with MKIV

[Troy Henderson <thenders@gmail.com>]

> how did you set up your lucida fonts in mkiv?

First of all, I did not setup Lucida for MKIV (specifically).  The
following fonts come with the complete Lucida set from TUG:

46 AFM's
41 PFB's
42 PFM's
164 TFM's
63 VF's

I placed all 356 of these font files into the same directory (ignoring
directory structure) as well as the following three files

lucida.ali
lucida.map
texnansi-yandy-luc.tex

I simply followed these steps from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida

1) Downloaded lucida-complete.zip from TUG one year ago and extracted
the files into my /usr/local/share/texmf tree.  I followed the
instructions located at

http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/README.TUG

to ensure that they worked in LaTeX (and they have for the last year)

2) I copied all files (not just the AFM and PFB as the instructions
suggested) into the temporary directory (as indicated above)

3) Executed the following command:

texfont --fontroot=/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local --ve=yandy
--co=luc --ma --in --expert

4) Downloaded and extracted the following file into
/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local

http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/lucida-cint.zip-0.9.zip

5) Nothing to do

6) Copied the type-luc.tex (provided by lucida-cint.zip-0.9.zip) into

/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base

7) Copied the cont-sys.tex (located originally in
/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base) into

/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user

and edited it adding the line

\usetypescriptfile[type-luc]

8) Executed `mktexlsr`

9) and 10) Added the following code to the preface of my ConTeXt document

\usetypescript[luc][texnansi]
\setupformulas[method=bold]
\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]
\enablemathcollection[lbr]
\usemathcollection[lbr]

Notice that the line

\input math-lbr

was omitted because it is evidently not part of my ConTeXt minimals
installation (although it is in my TeX Live 2008 installation).

Now, by following these steps, I am able to successfully create
ConTeXt documents with Lucida fonts (with and without math) using MKII
(texexec).  However, using the same document with MKIV (context), the
document builds fine, all text and math is Lucida, but the math fonts
are upright (Roman).
