[OS X TeX] lucida installation

> what do you mean specifically by 'encoding'?

The encoding is a mapping of glyph positions onto some new set of 
positions so that TeX knows where to find them.

The positions for the vf files are in the fonts folder with the tfm 
folder and the type 1 folder. They are named separately.

It means the .pfb files. These are what cost all the money. The rest can 
be freely distributed.

I didn't change from upper to lowercase and wonder if that is where your 
problem came in. Try installing the originals with their uppercase names.

Also: you really don't need everything about encoding in the preamble. 
Just put

\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}

That should work if everything is configured correctly.

But it sound as if your system doesn't know that the pfb fonts are 
there. (You can see what lucida fonts should look like by looking at The 
Latex Companion. It was done in lucida.)

Send a sample perhaps
