(not sure why I get different results with aptitude and apt-cache)

$> aptitude search lucida
v   ttf-lucida                                                       -
$> apt-cache search lucida
sun-java5-fonts - Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE)
sun-java6-fonts - Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE)


Others that may be interesting are:
ttf-gentium
ttf-inconsolata
ttf-liberation
ttf-unifont
ttf-xfree86-nonfree
