Thank you for the kind words, Otared, Regarding the colons (and other symbols with "dots"), I would say it is still not optimal in Lucida (and difficult to make it "consistent", there are too many symbols that are at the moment different). But in your example you can use \colonequals and \colon if you prefer. They are centered around the math axis.
