I am trying to find out whether the Lucida typeface by Bigelow & Holmes is
available for use with TeX.  I assume it must be, because they use TeX
under VMS in the Bigelow & Holmes studio.  But is Lucida for TeX available
commercially, or on any general distribution.  I know it is now in the
PostScript font catalogue, but a full TeX version would have all the extra
math and extensible characters, and the corresponding ligtable commands in
the TFM.  

I have phoned Bigelow's office at Stanford endlessly, and his studio, but
can never make contact with anyone except secretaries and tape recorders.
And even email to Bigelow has not elicited a response (yet).  So, does
anyone else have information?  And does the Bigelow & Holmes establishment
do other fonts that can be used with TeX?
