Hi
I am looking for the Postscript/type 1 Lucida Greek font set
(.pfb/.pfa) described at:
http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/fonts/y-and-y-fontnames.html#Lucida-Greek

I know that the font must be deprecated but I am using some old tools
and this font would fit my purpose. It should be registered with
'Bigelow & Holmes' and I would like to purchase a license but I
cannot find any info on it

Do you know who holds the distribution of those fonts?
thanks

I thought that Bigelow & Holmes was defunct. Do you know of an email
or website?
www.bigelowandholmes.com just brings a google search page up

You may be right. I just phoned the telephone number and it failed to
reach anyone. But Ascender, URW and Elsner-Flake are selling their fonts
so I presume royalties are going somewhere. The contact information is
from

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/links/vendor.aspx?VID=B%26H

but it may be out of date ("last updated 25 March 2005").
