Are the small capitals of these fonts the tradititional type of small
capitals, i.e. with a height equal to the normal x-height of the font?

Do they have a sufficiently large set of mathematical symbols, or are
we supposed to use Lucida (or Knuth's Computer Modern) for mathematical
typesetting?  Does Lucida have all the things mentioned above?

Hmmm...  I only have digits on my telephone dial.  How do the letters
map to digits?
