Re: problem installing Y&Y Lucida Bright fonts

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Yep; I've put them in /opt/share/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/

You are right; I didn't look/type careful enough.

I see in my tetex 2.0.2-21.3 system (at home) that they are enabled;
probably they are disabled in tetex 3.0-4 (at work; will check later).

Apparently; and it's handy once you know it!

Especially, because I forgot to mention one thing; that I always
modified /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps by hand, adding

  p +psfonts.lby
  p +psfonts.ley

by hand.  That's taken care of now by updmap?

Thanks again,

Sido.
