EspañolLUCIDA
(Redirected from Lucida Sans)
:''Lucida is also another name for the star Alpha Monocerotis. For the genus of grass skipper butterflies, see ''Lucida (butterfly).
'Lucida' is an extended family of related typefaces designed by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes in 1985.
There are many variants called Lucida, including scripts (Blackletter, Calligraphy, Handwriting), serif (Fax, Bright), and sans-serif (Sans, Sans Unicode, Grande, Sans Typewriter).
Bigelow & Holmes, together with the (now defunct) TeX vendor Y&Y, extended the Lucida family with a full set of TeX mathematical symbols, making it one of the few typefaces that works within TeX's mathematical typesetting.
Lucida Console is also the Blue Screen of Death (as well as Notepad default) typeface in Windows XP and Windows CE. Lucida Sans Demibold (Identical outlines to Lucida Grande Bold but with tighter kerning on numerals) is used in Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X operating system, as well as many programs including Front Row.
