lucida is just one of the many possible commercial fonts that one can
install so it has no special treatment (ok, the math needs some care)
the reason why it works in 'one step' in latex is that it uses the kb
naming scheme exclusively and only supports a few encodings (in theory
many, but in practice distributions only ship ec things, maybe for
lucida also the texnansi encoded things)
(btw, interesting that subdirectories are uses, esp since the latest
texlive has subdirectories for for instance ams fonts)
if you want to use the kb names, you need to make a mapping from the
more verbose names to the ones you want
\definefontsynonym[texnansi-lbr][whateverisusedinstead]
in principle these mappings can be added to type-dis.tex in which case
you can enable them with:
\usetypescript[berry][texnansi]
because most fonts i use are not in tex distributions i always generate
metrics using texfont; this is what i do when i install a font (i
normally install fonts on my windows laptop and when needed copy them to
the unix server)
put the originals on a font repository (flat)
mkdir h:\fonts\bh\lucida
i go to the root
cd /d h:\fonts
i remove instances in the texmftree
texfont --encoding=texnansi --ven=bh --coll=lucida --remove
then i generate metrics (and installs)
texfont --encoding=texnansi --ven=bh --coll=lucida --so=bh/lucida --ma
--in --expert
because math is special, i move the math related files to
texmf-local|fonts/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida
texmf-local|fonts/fonts/type1/bh/lucida
in principle the files should now in the right spot
btw, i posted a zip with lucida metrics for texnansi and ec a few days ago
if there is interest, i can add the lucida metrics (ec and texnansi) to
the cont-fnt zip file
(lucida always has been kind of special because yandy had its own
opinions about fonts)
