Ok here's a different approach. Install this new file as
/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-lucida-aliases.conf for testing.
(I'll provide the full patch to have it installed, but since it
involves autotool magic, the patch is going to be too large).
This file replaces ugly bitmapped fonts with true type ones and
provides reasonable aliases for the various lucida names that are
found on the web according to Tobias' test.
If you have real lucida fonts installed, they will still be picked
up.
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
