Some portions of the instructions should change, due to changes in
the directory layout of gwTeX or due to changes in the Lucida font
support in TeXLive, while other portions remain the same.
Trying to be as brief as possible:
- Conversion of the Y&Y fonts works the same as in my post of 6
August 2005, for example:
t1unmac -r LucidBri/rsrc lbr.pfb
and the name change is done according to the same table as in Gary
Gray's post of 26 March 2002, namely:

- Places where to put the fonts have changed a bit. If you want to
use the fonts from your account only, then the same places should be
used as in Gary's post, namely:
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lubright
Put:
lbd.pfb
lbdi.pfb
lbdsc.pfb
lbi.pfb
lbr.pfb
lbrsc.pfb
lbsl.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucida
Put:
lbc.pfb
lbh.pfb
lbki.pfb
lbkr.pfb
lbl.pfb
lbtb.pfb
lbtbo.pfb
lbto.pfb
lbtr.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucidfax
Put:
lfd.pfb
lfdi.pfb
lfi.pfb
lfr.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucsans
Put:
lsb.pfb
lsbi.pfb
lsd.pfb
lsdi.pfb
lsi.pfb
lsr.pfb
lstb.pfb
lstbo.pfb
lsto.pfb
lstr.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lumath
Put:
lbma.pfb
lbmad.pfb
lbmd.pfb
lbmdi.pfb
lbmdo.pfb
lbme.pfb
lbmi.pfb
lbmo.pfb
lbmr.pfb
lbms.pfb
lbmsd.pfb
If you want instead to use the fonts from all accounts on your Mac,
you should replace, with the latest version of the TeXLive-based TeX
i-Package, ~/Library/texmf by /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local. This
latter directory isn't directly visible from the Finder, and is owned
by root, which means that you'll need to work from within Terminal
(in /Applications/Utilities) and use command-line utilities such as
mkdir (for creating directories), cd (for changing directories), mv
(for moving or renaming files) and cp (for copying files), each of
which prefaced by sudo. You can use the symbolic link (similar to an
alias) /Library/TeX/Root for accessing /usr/local/gwTeX, and move
files there using drag-and-drop in the Finder (you'll be asked to
give an administrator password each time), but I don't think you can
create directories this way.
- The LaTeX package lucidabr.sty is included already in gwTeX,
inside /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/tex/latex/psnfssx/, hence
nothing to do there.
- The font support files (namely AFM, TFM, VF and MAP files) have
been removed from TeXLive. Hence you have to retrieve them from CTAN,
for example at:
<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/bh/lucida/>
and then put them back at the appropriate places. Namely:
doc files inside ~/Library/texmf/doc/fonts/bh/lucida
AFM files inside ~/Library/texmf/fonts/afm/bh/lucida
TFM files inside ~/Library/texmf/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida
VF files inside ~/Library/texmf/fonts/vf/bh/lucida
MAP file lucida.map inside ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lucida
or, as above, inside /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local instead of ~/
Library/texmf. In that latter case, run "sudo texhash" after putting
all the files into place.
- Update the map files for dvips, pdftex and dvipdfm, via updmap. I'm
still a bit uncertain about how his should be done, but I think that
if you put the files inside ~/Library/texmf then you should use:
sudo updmap --enable Map lucida.map
sudo updmap --enable Map lucidabr-o.map
sudo updmap --enable Map lumath-o.map
and if you put the files inside /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local you
should use:
sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map
sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lucidabr-o.map
sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lumath-o.map
The first file lucida.map references the fonts by their "LaTeX-style"
names such as hlhr8r. The last two files lucidabr-o.map and lumath-
o.map, included in gwTeX inside /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/fonts/
map/dvips/tetex, reference the fonts by their original Y&Y names such
as lbr; they are especially useful if you used the fonts in Textures,
which was set by default to use these original names.
Normally (finger-crossed) things should work afterwards.

Here I cannot help, I've never managed to solve the encoding problems
associated with Illustrator. Hopefully one day with OpenType
generalized all that font stuff should become transparent to the
user. But we're not there yet!
