[OS X TeX] lucida installation

[chip brock]

Hi
sorry, I need to be specific as I'm not sure what you mean below!

Chip (also, "Ray" for Michael...I've suffered with two names my whole
life...)

what do you mean specifically by 'encoding'? And, where do the vf, and
balance of the tfm files go? I gather that if I were a wintel machine, I
would have received an installer with the download...!

In the old days, outline fonts meant one thing, in this business, what does
it mean? 

All that I 'installed' were the pfb fonts, since that seemed to work for
Michael before. What I did specifically is download and unzip the files from
yandy. I created the directories from

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy

to match the tfm directories, copied the corresponding yandy pfb files into
my new directories one for each that existed already in the

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/yandy

directory. Then, since they were all UPPER CASE after unzipping, I made
copies of them and by hand changed the originals to lower case, leaving the
copies still there, as it made it easy to see that I changed them properly
without a typo. Then I started to use them.

The ..../tfm/yandy directories contain:

[brock:fonts/tfm/yandy] brock% ls -R
courier   lucida    lucsans   mathpi    mathtime  times
lubright  lucidfax  lumath    mathplus  symbol    zapfding

namely:

./lubright:
lbd.tfm   lbdi.tfm  lbdsc.tfm lbi.tfm   lbr.tfm   lbrsc.tfm lbsl.tfm

./lucida:
lbh.tfm   lbkr.tfm  lbtb.tfm  lbto.tfm
lbc.tfm   lbki.tfm  lbl.tfm   lbtbo.tfm lbtr.tfm

./lucidfax:
lfd.tfm   lfdi.tfm  lfi.tfm   lfr.tfm

./lucsans:
lsb.tfm   lsd.tfm   lsi.tfm   lstb.tfm  lsto.tfm
lsbi.tfm  lsdi.tfm  lsr.tfm   lstbo.tfm lstr.tfm

./lumath:
lbma.tfm  lbmd.tfm  lbmdo.tfm lbmi.tfm  lbmr.tfm  lbmsd.tfm
lbmad.tfm lbmdi.tfm lbme.tfm  lbmo.tfm  lbms.tfm
