----- Forwarded message from Walter Schmidt ----- I have uploaded the following files to the /incoming directory at dante.ctan.org:

readme.lucida lucida.zip makefile

This is an updated set of font metrics, virtual fonts, FD and font map files for Y&Y's commercial font family LucidaBright. A makefile is provided to help with renaming of the original font files so standard Berry-style names. (This is optional.)

The upload occurs in accordance with Blenda Horn (Y&Y) and Sebastian Rahtz (who made the existing Lucida font metrics).

Please remove the following existing CTAN directories:

fonts/metrics/bh/lubright fonts/metrics/bh/lucidfax fonts/metrics/bh/lucsans fonts/metrics/bh/lumath

and the contents of the directory fonts/metrics/bh/lucida.

Then move my files to the directory fonts/metrics/bh/lucida. (The stuff is no longer spread over 5 different directories). Please, do not unpack lucida.zip.

This release features a number of changes over the previous distribution:

* The 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 ( exteuro) 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. ----- End forwarded message -----

Thanks for the update. I installed it as suggested replacing everything in CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/metrics/bh/ with the new version in CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/metrics/bh/lucida/
