I don't believe any Lucida proportional font is particularly common on recent Linux distros. I suspect most Lucidas on Linux are either ttf shares from Windows, serif, monospace, and/or old bitmapped fonts. http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-UnixResults.shtml indicates the contrary, but I believe there's something that site cannot account for skewing the results, possibly people responding to the survey as Unix actually running multiboot systems using Windows fonts. On my 3 newest Linux systems, running SuSE 9.2, Fedora Core 3, and Mandrake 2005, and the previous Linux versions they replaced, there were no such Lucidas installed with the OS and its bundled software. The only proportional sans Lucidas on any of those 3 of mine are Windows' Lucida Sans Unicode. OTOH, all of them were equipped with the Bitstream Vera series of fonts out of the box. AFAIK, Lucida Grande is a Mac font never found on any fresh Linux or Windows system. -- "If you love your children, you will be prompt to discipline them." Proverbs 13:24 Team OS/2 ** Reg.
