I am trying to find out whether the Lucida typeface by Bigelow & Holmes is available for use with TeX. I assume it must be, because they use TeX under VMS in the Bigelow & Holmes studio. But is Lucida for TeX available commercially, or on any general distribution. I know it is now in the PostScript font catalogue, but a full TeX version would have all the extra math and extensible characters, and the corresponding ligtable commands in the TFM. I have phoned Bigelow's office at Stanford endlessly, and his studio, but can never make contact with anyone except secretaries and tape recorders. And even email to Bigelow has not elicited a response (yet). So, does anyone else have information? And does the Bigelow & Holmes establishment do other fonts that can be used with TeX?

The last time I heard from him he was working on a postscript version of the Lucida typeface especially to be used with TeX. Apparently they are available, since Agfa ships them with their P400 PostScript printers. At least, the last time I looked they shipped a subset.
