these encodings only make sense with mkii (in which case the map file 
tells pdftex if a ttf or pfb file is used)

in mkiv encodings are ignored,  when a ttf/otf file is used no afm is 
read, and when a pfb fils is used the afm is used (ligature adn kerning 
info etc) but a wide font is assembled

(when a ttf is used the lucidaot typescript file can serve as example)

in mkxl we assume the otf files sold by TUG are used (recently the math 
font was updated)

in mkxl (lmtx)

\setupbodyfont[lucida]

will load open type definitions

so why not use lucida math fonts?

even with type one fonts 17 sec load time for a few fonts is not okay, i 
expect more something like:

mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 3 files: lucidabrightmathot.otf, 
lucidabrightot.otf, lucidasansot.otf
mkiv lua stats  > font engine: otf 3.133, afm 1.513, tfm 1.000, 14 
instances, 10 shared in backend, 6 common vectors, 4 common hashes, load 
time 0.161 seconds

(so 100 times less load time here)
