Thanks for the guidance, I finally get my Lucida Math work.
After the \showfont step, I found that I didn't have the "tex-ma"
vector font, and the last two lines in math-vfu.lua should be changed
to:
{ name = "hlcra.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" },
{ name = "hlcrm.tfm", vector = "tex-mi" },
in my case.
By the way, there's a typo in fonts.enc.math["tex-mi"] in
math-vfu.lua, the comment "righttharpoonup" has an extra "t" and I
just wish it could be perfect.
