This is a set of metrics for the Lucida math fonts.  See the Makefile
for the version number.  The project was started June 23rd--24th by
Sebastian Rahtz while at CERN, and finished off by Karl Berry. Thanks to
Michel Goossens for wanting it done, and for having the fonts, and Chuck
Bigelow and Kris Holmes for designing the fonts in the first place.

This is of no use to you unless a) you have the fonts themselves in
PostScript form ready to download (you can buy them from Adobe); and b)
you have a driver which understands virtual fonts (such as dvips, which
you can get from labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z, or my hacked
version of dvips which uses the same path searching and configuration as
TeX, my hacked xdvi, and the GNU font utilities, available from
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z).

The procedure was as follows
 - get the AFM metric files
 - work out the order of the symbols in the tex cmmi, cmsy and cmex
   fonts, by their PostScript names
 - hack Rokicki's dvips to read a list of names for the texencoding
   array, rather than hard wire in the TeX text layout; the distributed
   afm2tfm can do this now.
 - run afm2tfm to create virtual font metric files
 - hack the .vpl files via shell scripts to add fontdimens, change metrics etc;
   some changes from Barry Smith's work (sent by Berthold Horn).  Karl
   spent some effort getting the fontdimens reasonable.
 - add in VARCHAR and NEXTLARGER entries from cmex10
 - hack in the metrics over 2408 which upset  vptovf
 - run vptovf and use the resulting tfm and vf files

All these steps are done in the Makefile, but you probably won't want to
remake the fonts.  There's certainly no need to.  Unless you feel pretty
confident, take these as they are.

psfonts.add can be added to dvips' psfonts.map file.

Names are as in dvips's naming scheme, developed by Karl.  You can get
the full details on it in ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/fontname/fontname.texi.

The file lucidamath.tex sets up the fonts for you to replace cmsy10,
cmex10 and cmmi10 in plain TeX.

A ``tr\alpha p'' test is in tralphap.tex.  It's based on the routines in
DEK's testfont.tex, plus the challenges from the TeXbook, etc., etc.
