Yes, it is your problem. While the Lucida family is not free, the metrics,
ie the information about how much space a letter consumes on the paper,
and if certain pairs of adjacent letters (as Te for example) can be allowed
to move closer together, are distributed freely. They, and only they, are
contained in the *.tfm (=TeX font metric) files.
TeX, in fact, doesn't need much more information than that, as its purpose
is only to typeset letters on a paper, ie to decide exactly on the letters'
positions. Printing them on paper is the driver's task. Only the print
driver converts the information into little ink or toner spots or pixels on
the screen, and therefore uses the information about how the letters look
like.
