Thanks Hans for your quick reply!
I guess the file type-imp-lucida-opentype.mkiv is there to take care of 
everything when using the font: so once I have the fonts, and ConTeXt knows 
where they are,
can I use them just by saying
\setupbodyfont[lucida]


\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]


or are there other commands to issue?

Many thanks for your precious help: OK

Hi,

I would like to buy the set of Lucida fonts from TUG
https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html
but I am wondering which flavor, Open Type or Type 1, is supposed to
work smoothly (and easily…) with ConTeXt mkiv. Actually a very long time
ago I bought those fonts from yandy.com , but those
were designed to work only on a Mac OS 9 (yes I am so that old… :-).

Since I am sure some people on the mailing list have an experience and
good advices to share, I would appreciate having their opinion.
