+Available encodings are T1 (Cork), TS1 (text companion) and LY1
+(TeXnANSI). As an exception, the font famiily hlhj is _not_ available
+with LY1 encoding.
+
+
+Usage notes
+===========
+
+* The obsolete OT1 font encoding, which is still the default with
+LaTeX, is _not_ supported. Thus, you must switch to T1/TS1 or LY1
+encoding before using the Lucida Bright fonts.
+
+* On the Y&Y-TeX system you can use the Lucida fonts only with the LY1
+encoding, because T1/TS1 is based upon virtual fonts, which are not
+supported by Y&Y-TeX. On other TeX systems, T1/TS1 should be
+preferred.
+
+* The Lucida fonts do not include all symbols of the TS1 (text
+companion) font encoding: Only those symbols are available that
+belong to the ISO-Adobe 1 character set, plus the Omega and the Euro.
+
+* The regular, italic and demibold cuts of the font family hlh (Lucida
+Bright) come with oldstyle figures that can be used through
+textcomp.sty and the command \oldstylenums. This requires, however,
+the following additional command, which must be issued _after_ loading
+of the textcomp package:
+
+ \DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{hlh}{1}
+
+Rationale: By default, the textcomp package disables the use of
+oldstyle numbers in the family hlh, because they are not available
+with _all_ fonts of the family.
+
+* The font family hlhj has oldstyle figures in the T1 character set,
+i.e. OsF constitutes the default here.
+
+* When using LY1 encoding, the Euro symbol is _not_ available in the
+font families and shapes marked with an asterisk in the above table.
+
+* The fd files provide an interface to scale the Lucida fonts. If a
+macro named \DeclareLucidaFontShape is defined, the fd files will
+evaluate it. For instance, to use the fonts at 90%, you need to
+define the macro as follows:
+
+ \def\DeclareLucidaFontShape#1#2#3#4#5#6{%
+ \DeclareFontShape{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{<->s*[0.90]#5}{#6}}
+
+Make sure to define the macro before using the fonts for the first
+time! When using a ready-made macro packages such as lucidabr or
+lucimatx, the package will take care of the scaling.
+
+* All demibold fonts are assigned to series `b'. The two sans serif
+bold fonts are assigned to `ub' (ultra bold). This means that with
+the exception of the sans bold fonts _all_ fonts in the Lucida Bright
+font set are available using normal `user level' commands such as
+\bfseries, \sffamily etc. To access the bold sans serif use
+\fontseries{ub}\sffamily.
+
+* The blackletter font is primarily intended to be used in math. When
+used as a text font with T1 or LY1 encoding, no "long s" will be
+available, and there are many accented letters which don't make much
+sense with this typeface.
