+============================================================
+ Lucida Bright/Lucida New Math font pack for LaTeX
+ as of 2003-03-12
+============================================================
+ Walter Schmidt
+ <w-a-schmidt@arcor.de>
+
+This set of files includes the TeX fonts metrics, virtual
+fonts and LaTeX font definition files for Y&Y's Lucida
+Bright and Lucida New Math fonts. It supports the standard
+T1 and TS1 font encodings as well as Y&Y's proprietary LY1
+encoding.
+
+This file set does NOT include:
+
+* the actual Type 1 fonts, which are to be purchased from
+ Y&Y, Inc. <http://www.yandy.com/lucida.htm>
+
+* the LaTeX macro packages and the related .fd files for
+ the math fonts; they are provided from the CTAN directory
+ macros/latex/contrib/supported/psnfssx/lucidabr/
+
+The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant
+TeX system such as teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The
+directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the
+TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than
+one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you
+where to install new files.
+
+|
+| As to VTeX/Free, an alternative set of files is provided
+| from <http://home.vr-web.de/was/lucidayy>. It includes
+| also the ready-made macro packages and comes with very
+| detailed installation instructions for VTeX. Due to
+| historical reasons its directory layout is somewhat
+| different, while the actual .fd, .tfm and .vf files are
+| the same.
+|
+
+|
+| This distribution uses standard "Karl-Berry-style" file
+| names for all font metric (tfm) files. Thus, it can NOT
+| be used with applications such or Y&Y's plain TeX macros,
+| where Y&Y's proprietary file names are -- unfortunately
+| -- hardwired. The required tfm and map files with
+| Y&Y-style file names are supplied by Y&Y in conjunction
+| with the Lucida fonts. They can be installed either
+| alternatively or in addition to the present ones.
+|
+
+
+Installing the Type 1 font files
+--------------------------------
+You have to choose whether to rename the font files to
+standard "Karl-Berry-style" names or to leave the file names
+unchanged. A "makefile" is provided to help you renaming
+the large number of PFB and AFM font files. Put it into the
+same directory as the files and run "make PFBs" to rename
+the .pfb files or "make AFMs" to rename AFM files.
+
+Copy the following math fonts into the directory
+texmf/fonts/type1/bh/lumath of your TeX system:
+
+Y&Y file name: standard file name:
+lbma.pfb hlcra.pfb
+lbmad.pfb hlcda.pfb
+lbmd.pfb hlcdm.pfb
+lbmdi.pfb hlcdim.pfb
+lbmdo.pfb hlcdima.pfb
+lbme.pfb hlcrv.pfb
+lbmi.pfb hlcrim.pfb
+lbmo.pfb hlcrima.pfb
+lbmr.pfb hlcrm.pfb
+lbms.pfb hlcry.pfb
+lbmsd.pfb hlcdy.pfb
+
+
+Copy the following text fonts into the directory
+texmf/fonts/type1/bh/lucidabr of your TeX system:
+
+Y&Y file name: standard file name:
+lbtbo.pfb hlcbot8a.pfb
+lbtb.pfb hlcbt8a.pfb
+lbl.pfb hlcrf8a.pfb
+lbc.pfb hlcrie8a.pf
+lbki.pfb hlcrin8a.pfb
+lbh.pfb hlcriw8a.pf
+lbkr.pfb hlcrn8a.pfb
+lbto.pfb hlcrot8a.pfb
+lbtr.pfb hlcrt8a.pfb
+lbd.pfb hlhb8a.pfb
+lbdsc.pfb hlhbc8a.pfb
+lbdi.pfb hlhbi8a.pf
+lbr.pfb hlhr8a.pfb
+lbrsc.pfb hlhrc8a.pfb
+lbi.pfb hlhri8a.pfb
+lbsl.pfb hlhro8a.pf
+lsd.pfb hlsb8a.pfb
+lsdi.pfb hlsbi8a.pfb
+lstbo.pfb hlsbot8a.pfb
+lstb.pfb hlsbt8a.pfb
+lsr.pfb hlsr8a.pfb
+lsi.pfb hlsri8a.pfb
+lsto.pfb hlsrot8a.pfb
+lstr.pfb hlsrt8a.pfb
+lsb.pfb hlsu8a.pfb
+lsbi.pfb hlsui8a.pfb
+lfd.pfb hlxb8a.pfb
+lfdi.pfb hlxbi8a.pfb
+lfr.pfb hlxr8a.pfb
+lfi.pfb hlxri8a.pfb
+
+With TeX systems other than VTeX, the directory names do NOT
+actually matter, as long as the .pfb files reside at least
+below texmf/fonts/type1. With VTeX/Free, however, you must
+use exactly the directory names as indicated above;
+otherwise the font map (.ali) files need to be modified.
+
+Copy also the related .afm files to the corresponding
+directories below texmf/fonts/afm/bh, in case your TeX
+system makes use of .afm files!
+
+
+
+Unpacking the distribution
+--------------------------
+Unpack the ZIP archive lucida.zip in the directory "texmf"
+of your TeX system. All files will be generated in the
+appropriate directories then.
+
+NB:
+The .fd files are unpacked to the directory
+texmf/tex/latex/lucida, as opposed to ../lucidabr. The
+latter name seems to be more appropriate, but the former
+name is, unfortunately, widely used. Yet a directory named
+"lucidabr" may already exist in your TeX system, and you may
+feel free to move the .fd files there; just make sure that
+you don't end up with two different sets of .fd files in
+different directories!
+
+
+
+Configuring your TeX system
+---------------------------
+The programs of your TeX system need to be configured to use
+the additional font mapping files for the Lucida Bright and
+Lucida New Math fonts. The following map files are provided
+in the distribution:
+
+Font map files for dvips and pdfTeX:
+
+ lucidabr.map for the text fonts, using Y&Y file names
+ lumath.map for the math fonts, using Y&Y file names
+
+ lucidabr-k.map for the text fonts, using standard names
+ lumath-k.map for the math fonts, using standard names
+
+Copy the files you want to use to a suitable directory of
+your TeX system, most likely texmf/dvips/lucida or
+texmf/dvips/config. Make sure that there are no other,
+possibly obsolete, map files with the same names in other
+directories.
+
+Font map files for VTeX:
+
+ lucidabr.ali for the text fonts, using Y&Y file names
+ lumath.ali for the math fonts, using Y&Y file names
+
+ lucidabr-k.ali for the text fonts, using standard names
+ lumath-k.ali for the math fonts, using standard names
+
+Copy the files you want to use to a suitable directory of
+your TeX system, most likely texmf/fonts/map/vtex. Make
+sure that there are no other, possibly obsolete, map files
+with the same names in other directories.
+
+Consult the documentation of your TeX system, how to
+configure it to actually use these font mapping files!
+
+
+
+Required version of the TeXBase1 encoding vector
+------------------------------------------------
+Accessing the Euro and Omega symbols through the TS1 (text
+companion) encoding requires at least version 2.0pre of the
+encoding vector 8r.enc. The very latest release is always
+available as <http://tug.org/fontname/8r.enc>.
+
+
+
+Using the Lucida fonts with LaTeX
+---------------------------------
+The file texmf/doc/fonts/bh/lucida.txt includes some usage
+notes and a list of all available font families, series and
+shapes with their NFSS classification.
+
+
+
+How this package was created
+----------------------------
+The font metrics, virtual fonts and .fd files for the T1 and
+TS1 encodings were created using fontinst v1.914 with
+several patches. They are based on the AFM files
+distributed on Y&Y's CD-ROM "Lucida Bright Complete" (1999).
+
+The font metrics for the LY1 encoded text fonts and for the
+math fonts were simply copied from the above-mentioned
+CD-ROM and renamed to KB-style names. The related .fd files
+for the text fonts were patched to reflect the changed font
+names.
+
+
+
+History
+-------
+2003-03-12
+
+ All typewriter fonts have vertically centered asterisks
+ now; all textcompanion fonts have vertically centered
+ \textaskeriskcented symbols.
+
+ The Omega symbol \textohm is made available in the
+ textcompanion fonts.
+
+ The Polish diacritics have been somewhat improved, but
+ are not really satisfying 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.
