Is that a free version of lucida-font? No. There is no really free version of lucida. They once came with staroffice and there was a script that was able to pull them out and make them accessable for TeX. But I think that the quality is lower than the original ones (once read a statement from Walter Schmit about them, don't remember when and where) and math is not included. > (is that for math?

Try out the stuff that is on the wiki and please report on your success/failure. > Is there a manual which explains how to change fonts (in a way that a > normal user who is new to context can understand it)? yes and no.
