Find a source file of Lucida fonts someplace--the 'Net, another 
computer, etc.
Copy that source onto a flash drive or email it to yourself.
Your system should have a /fonts directory. Copy the Lucida file you
just obtained into that /fonts directory.  If the Lucida file is a .TTF, 
_and_
if you have a separate TTF directory, then copy the file into that.
You now should be good to go with the Lucida fonts in any program
that wants them.
