+============================================================
+ TeX support files for the
+ Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts
+ as of 2008-05-06
+============================================================

+
+
+This distribution contains the TeX fonts metrics, virtual
+fonts and LaTeX font definition files for the Lucida
+Bright and Lucida New Math fonts.
+
+This file set does, however, NOT include:
+
+* the actual Type 1 fonts (*.pfb, *.pfm, *.afm);
+
+* LaTeX macro packages to support math typesetting.
+
+
+The Lucida typeface family was designed by Charles Bigelow
+and Kris Holmes.
+(R) Lucida is a trademark of Bigelow & Holmes Inc.
+registered in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and other
+jurisdictions.
+
+
+
+Installing the Type 1 font files
+--------------------------------
+Make sure that the Type1 font files carry their original
+names, as distributed by Y&Y, PCTeX or TUG. Do not rename
+them to standard ("Karl Berry style") names.
+
+The following table shows the descriptive PostScript font name, the
+original Y&Y l* name used for afm, pfb, and pfm files, and an h* tfm
+name, for the Y&Y texnansi 8y encoding, in the case of the text fonts.
+(The text fonts actually have several corresponding tfm's, one for each
+TeX encoding used; notably, 8y can be replaced with 8t to get the LaTeX
+T1 ("Cork") encoding.)

+
+Store the .pfb and .pfm files in the directory
+
+ <texmf>/fonts/type1/bh/lucida
+
+of your TeX system, and store the related .afm files in
+
+ <texmf>/fonts/afm/bh/lucida
+
+(With TeX systems other than VTeX, the directory names do
+not actually matter, as long as the .pfb files reside at
+least somewhere below texmf/fonts/type1. With VTeX/Free,
+however, you must use exactly the directory names as
+indicated above; otherwise the font map (.ali) file needs to
+be modified.)
+
+
+
+Unpacking the distribution
+--------------------------
+Unpack the ZIP archive lucida.zip in the directory <texmf>
+of your TeX system. All files will then be generated in the
+appropriate directories.
+
+
+
+Installing the font map files
+------------------------------
+The following fonts map files are provided:
+
+ lucida.map to be used with dvips and pdfTeX
+ lucida.ali to be used with VTeX/Free
+
+Copy the file you want to use to a suitable directory of
+your TeX system; configure your TeX system so that it will
+make use of this map file. Consult the documentation of
+your TeX system for how to do so!
+
+
+
+Using the Lucida fonts with LaTeX
+---------------------------------
+The file texmf/doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt includes some
+usage notes and a list of all available font families,
+series and shapes with their NFSS classification.
+
+
+
+How this collection was created
+-------------------------------
+The font metrics, virtual fonts and .fd files for the T1 and
+TS1 encodings were created using fontinst 1.928.
+The sources are available as ZIP archive file
+lucida-fontinst.zip; note that there is no need to unpack
+and install it if you only want to _use_ the fonts!
+
+The font metric files for the LY1 encoded text fonts, as
+well as the metrics for the math fonts, are those that were
+formerly distributed by Y&Y.

+History
+-------
+2008-05-06
+
+ license (LPPL) added
+
+2006-03-23
+
+ Include tfm names too.
+
+2005-11-14
+
+ Editorial/English changes.
+
+2005-09-15
+
+ Font family hlhj with oldstyle figures added.
+ Documentation (doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt) updated
+ accordingly.
+
+2005-08-24
+
+ Changed directory layout:
+ Metrics, VFs and Type1 fonts are no longer spread over
+ several directories each, and the documentation resides in
+ <texmf>/doc/fonts/lucida now. Thus, all bottom-level
+ directories have the name "lucida" (which works well with
+ TeX Live, although it is not required by the TDS.)
+
+ The font map files lucidabr.map and lumath.map have been
+ concatenated to one single file named "lucida.map"; and
+ there is only one single map file "lucida.ali" for VTeX,
+ too.
+
+ Map files using standard ("Karl Berry style") names for
+ the Type1 font files have been abolished, since both
+ MikTeX and TeX Live seem to prefer the original file
+ names.
+ (Note, however, that all tfm and vf files carry _standard_
+ names, because the original names would not be able to
+ distinguish between LY1, T1 and TS1 encoding.)
+
+ \texteuro is now provided in _all_ TS1-encoded fonts; when
+ there is no such character in the physical Type1 font, it
+ is faked.
+
+ Improved Polish diacritics and \dj in most virtual fonts.
+
+ Revised VFs and metrics of the smallcaps fonts hlhbc8t and
+ hlhrc8t to fix a minor bug regarding the size of the
+ hungarumlaut accent.
+
+ Oldstyle figures from the Lucida Calligraphy-Italic fonts
+ are made available also for the italic shape of the Lucida
+ Bright family.
+
+ Revised documentation; in particular, the API provided by
+ the fd files to scale the fonts (\DeclareLucidaFontShape)
+ is now documented.
+
+2003-03-12
+
+ All typewriter fonts have vertically centered asterisks
+ now; all textcompanion fonts have vertically centered
+ \textaskeriskcentered symbols.
+
+ The Omega symbol \textohm is made available in the
+ textcompanion fonts.
+
+ The Polish diacritics have been somewhat improved, but
+ are not really satisfactory yet.
+
+ Font mapping files have been moved out of the zip archive,
+ with respect to their changed location in the future TDS
+ 1.0.
+
+ Some empty and unneeded directories have been removed
+ from the archive lucida.zip.
+
+2003-01-13
+ There are thorough changes over the previous CTAN distrib:
+
+ The new file set includes also the metrics for LY1 encoded
+ text fonts. These are the original files from Y&Y, only
+ renamed to Karl-Berry-style names. The related .fd files
+ were changed appropriately. Thus, LY1 can be used easily
+ beside T1/TS1.
+
+ The LY1 and TS1 encodings make the Euro symbol (\texteuro)
+ accessible, which is present in the current release of the
+ Lucida fonts.
+
+ With T1/TS1 encoding, the same set of font series and
+ shapes is supported as with Y&Y's original distribution.
+ The previous CTAN distribution, in contrast, included a
+ number of additional series/shapes, which were based on
+ artificially compressed, expanded or slanted fonts and
+ faked smallcaps. Notice that these were never documented!
+
+ The obsolete OT1 font encoding is no longer supported with
+ the Lucida fonts.
+
+ T1 encoded smallcaps fonts (hlhrc8t, hlhbc8t) include
+ normal digits now, as expected. Oldstyle digits are still
+ available in the TS1 encoding.
