Hi, I would like to buy the set of Lucida fonts from TUG https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html but I am wondering which flavor, Open Type or Type 1, is supposed to work smoothly (and easily…) with ConTeXt mkiv. Actually a very long time ago I bought those fonts from yandy.com http://yandy.com/, but those were designed to work only on a Mac OS 9 (yes I am so that old… :-). Since I am sure some people on the mailing list have an experience and good advices to share, I would appreciate having their opinion. Best regards: OK

Thanks Hans for your quick reply! I guess the file type-imp-lucida-opentype.mkiv is there to take care of everything when using the font: so once I have the fonts, and ConTeXt knows where they are, can I use them just by saying \setupbodyfont[lucida] or are there other commands to issue? Many thanks for your precious help: OK

\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
or are there other commands to issue?
