But it is probably wrong to set the font encoding globally. It would be much better to set the fontenc for each particular font. So sth. like \usepackage[LY1]{lucidabr} would be appropriate. And if an argument is optional, there must be a default value. And that should be T1.

This is only a problem with Computer Modern and EC, but in almost all other cases Americans can use T1 instaed of OT1 as well. > Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do something > suboptimal for keeping your peace. Seems that we need LaTeX3 now and that its developers should forget everything about compatibilty.
