This doesn't work for me, Claus. For example the following sequence produced nothing.
   1. I opened /usr/local/texlive/
   2. I clicked cmd-f
   3. In the resulting Searching "textlive" window I searched
       for "Contents" containing "Walter Schmidt"
   4. Nothing was found.

Be that as it may
   /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/fonts/lucida/readme.lucida
starts off with

                 TeX support files for the
           Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts
                      as of 2006-03-23

                                              Walter Schmidt
                                      w-a-schmidt(at)gmx.net


Is there something I'm missing here. How can I make your directions work?
