But then again I didn't understand how it was possible that so many people were using lucida without any problems. (And that it was only me who had problems installing the font - I simply took all the files from the "LaTeX world" and forgot about using texfont, which caused me some headaches until now anyway.)
when i started using lucida (many years ago) they came with tfm files (texnansi) abut nowadays i just generate the metrics with texfont because yandy went away tug now sells the fonts, and as a result new metrics for latex were made; i'm not sure with what (afm) files the fonts ship nowadays but i'm not going to change/adapt my local setup (too tricky) to different lucida spacing and metrics; the font metrics zip has them

Hmmm ... Yesterday I figured out that lucida doesn't support EC (ie. doens't have enough glyphs to cover Slovenian and Croatian). I guess that only texnansi is a sensible choice. :(
(I hoped that empty slots in Hans's manuals were a consequence of faulty ec.enc files, but now I figured out that the font has indeed many glhyps missing.)
my impression is that when ec was made nobody cared much about eastern european languages; for some reason the hardly (or once per doc) used copyright and registere symbols were considered to be of more importance, alas ...
