How do I install the Lucida Fonts Macros?

These instructions cover installing the lucimatx macros only. If you ordered this product, you must already have a license for the complete set of 41 Lucida fonts. This font set was formerly sold as Lucida "Expert" by Y&Y or Blue Sky, and is also available from other sources. The list of required files is shown below.

  1. If you are currently using Lucida fonts in a TeX system that has TDS trees such as MiKTeX, proTeXt, or TeXShop, you may skip this step.
    • Locate the Lucida font files. Check that you have the complete set as shown below.
    • Copy these files to your localtexmf directory: localtexmf/fonts/type1/bh/lucida/
  2. Proceed with the following directions, and this will complete the installation:

Installing Lucida Fonts in MiKTeX

Unzip the texmf directory from lucimacros.zip.tpm into your localtexmf directory, and copy the templates directory wherever you want to. Edit localtexmf\web2c\updmap.cfg and add this line:

    Map lucida.map #localtexmf\dvips\lucida\lucida.map

Then run updmap (or mkfntmap or initexmf --mkmaps) and refresh the file name database.

This should work on most modern TeX systems. If you don't have updmap, you may try to manually add "map +lucida.map" to pdftex.cfg and add "p +lucida.map" to config.ps.
