We have an explicit reference to a LucidaTypewriter font. We started to transition to fontconfig 2004-ish. Unfortunately, the developers who started that effort have since mostly disappeared. If there are any competent fontconfig developers who could give us a hand completing the transition, please stop by xemacs-beta@xxxxxxxxxx and say hello. I will personally send a box of home-made oatmeal raisin cookies [1] to anyone who can help us finish the job.
