The lucida (fonts/metrics/bh/lucida) and
lucidabr (macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/lucidabr) packages have been
updated on CTAN.
The lucida package contains font metrics for Lucida, but no actual
outlines (such as .pfb files). The outlines must be purchased
separately. The metrics have been updated by Walter Schmidt; see
technical details below.
The lucidabr package contains basic LaTeX macro support for Lucida under
the NFSS (New Font Selection Scheme). Only documentation has been
updated; the actual LaTeX support is unchanged. lucidabr is now
maintained by TUG, via volunteers Morten Hoegholm and Karl Berry.
TUG will be making a separate announcement about availability of the
fonts.

mailing list at http://tug.org/lucida.

Technical details for the lucida metrics update:
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.)
exteuro 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.
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.
i have installed the both sets of files at cambridge, and pushed the
results out to the other ctans (and hence to mirrors).
