hi
Okay...I seem to have fixed the lucida font problem. The clue was the
realization that in Michael's console dump of his simple file, that only the
lumath directory seemed to hang from his /User/mmurray/... chain, rather
than the /usr/local/... chain like mine. When I moved my math fonts to a
similar directory chain built from my home directory, the math worked.
This still left some of the other rendering weird, like: bold headings I
think were not bold and the combination "fi" was still rendered as a box.
So, being a good physicist, I saw the pattern and moved the whole yandy
subdirectory set into my home directory chain. After fiddling with the
preamble, it all renders properly, as far as I can tell (leaving only
undiscovered mistakes, I suppose).
SO, for posterity:
1) The placement of the pfb files are:
[brock:fonts/type1/yandy] brock% pwd
/Users/brock/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy
[brock:fonts/type1/yandy] brock% ls -R
lubright lucida lucidfax lucsans lumath
./lubright:
LBD.PFB copy LBI.PFB copy LBSL.PFB copy lbdsc.pfb
lbrsc.pfb
LBDI.PFB copy LBR.PFB copy lbd.pfb lbi.pfb lbsl.pfb
LBDSC.PFB copy LBRSC.PFB copy lbdi.pfb lbr.pfb
./lucida:
LBC.PFB copy LBL.PFB copy LBTR.PFB copy lbkr.pfb lbto.pfb
LBH.PFB copy LBTB.PFB copy lbc.pfb lbl.pfb lbtr.pfb
LBKI.PFB copy LBTBO.PFB copy lbh.pfb lbtb.pfb
LBKR.PFB copy LBTO.PFB copy lbki.pfb lbtbo.pfb
./lucidfax:
LFD.PFB copy LFI.PFB copy lfd.pfb lfi.pfb
LFDI.PFB copy LFR.PFB copy lfdi.pfb lfr.pfb
./lucsans:
LSB.PFB copy LSI.PFB copy LSTO.PFB copy lsd.pfb lstb.pfb
LSBI.PFB copy LSR.PFB copy LSTR.PFB copy lsdi.pfb
lstbo.pfb
LSD.PFB copy LSTB.PFB copy lsb.pfb lsi.pfb lsto.pfb
LSDI.PFB copy LSTBO.PFB copy lsbi.pfb lsr.pfb lstr.pfb
./lumath:
LBMA.PFB LBMD.PFB LBMDO.PFB LBMI.PFB LBMS.PFB LBR.PFB
LBMAD.PFB LBMDI.PFB LBME.PFB LBMO.PFB LBMSD.PFB
[brock:fonts/type1/yandy] brock%
2) The working preamble is:
\documentclass[11pt,landscape]{book}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}
\usepackage{amsthm,amsmath}
Have no idea why this works.
thanks for the help.
