[tex-live] Problem with Lucida Bright

Hi all,

After migrating from teTeX to TeXLive, I'm experiencing something
strange with the Lucida font set. What happens is that LaTeX works
perfectly well after calling \usepackage{lucidbry}. But ConTeXt seems
to have much trouble finding the TFM file for the math fonts (if I
remove all the math-related script, it works...) After some
preliminary research, I think it might have been caused by the font
abbreviations in the `special.map' file; for example, "lbmo" relates
to "yandy  lumath".

Anyway, the error message is here:

kpathsea: Running mktextfm lbmo
mkdir: ././Users/Colin/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/tfm: Permission denied
mktextfm: mktexdir
/Users/Colin/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/tfm/yandy/lumath failed.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. !
Font \*lucida7ptmmmirm*:=lbmo at 7.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
not fo und.

I don't quite understand how special.map works, and why mktextfm is
trying to build the /yandy/lumath directory, since ConTeXt is
instructed to use the map file ``texnansi-bh-lucida''....

Any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Colin
