Re: problem installing Y&Y Lucida Bright fonts

Hello Sido,

good to see you again, even if only electronically. Thomas has solved
this for me a few months ago. Here's how to do it:

As root, issue the command

	updmap-sys --edit

Then, in your editor uncomment the lucida-maps of your choice, either

	#! Map lucidabr.map
	#! Map lumath.map

or

	#! Map lucidabr-o.map
	#! Map lumath-o.map

(probably the latter in your case) by removing the #!

Then exit your editor, and updmap-sys should work its magick.

By the way: lucidbry is considered outdated, if I am not mistaken. Using
lucidabr is recommended.

Cheers!
