Hi there

I tried using the "lucidacal" option of mtpro2 with Y&Y tex. The problem is:

(c:/localtexmf/tex/latex/mtpro2/omslbm.fd)
! Font OMS/lbm/m/n/10.95=hlcry at 9.85492pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not
found
(TEXNANSI=C:\YANDY\FONTS\TFM\TEXNANSI\TFM;C:\YANDY\FONTS\TFM\NONTEXT\;C:\YAND
Y\FONTS\TFM\TEXNANSI\;c:\localtexmf\fonts\\).


I used

\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[subscriptcorrection,nofontinfo,lucidacal]{mtpro2}

I think there is a problem here with the lucida font naming scheme. Y&Y expects the original names.

mtpro expects the font (TFM) name that is used in the new Lucida
distribution. If you get the "new Lucida" to work on Y&Y TeX, the
lucidacal option for mtpro will work, too.

I have no idea what exactly I'm doing here but this simple change in "omslbm.fd" of the mtpro2 package seems to work, both with Y&Y and with MiKTeX
