Lucida LaTeX Fonts on Sale

Among the alternatives to the LaTeX default font Computer Modern, one of the nicest is the Lucida family.

The TeX user group has offered the fonts at a discount for members for a while now. They charge $90 for members for the complete set (the non-member price is $140).

An alternative vendor is PCTeX, who normally charge $129 for the complete set of Lucida fonts. PCTeX has an “academic price” of $99, which is almost as good as the TUG-membership price.

But what occasioned this particular post is that PCTeX is offering a special sale right now: $79 as the academic price for the complete set of Lucida fonts.

[I already have the fonts and use them for some projects, e.g. the circulation manuscript of this paper.]
