I believe that USL has placed these OLIT fonts already in .bdf format
on Expo....(in case you don't want to deal with the converting steps)

The file is OLIT2fonts.tar (not compressed) on expo.lcs.mit.edu via 
anonymous ftp in the contrib directory.  It includes all the 12-point
lucida fonts along with the button, slider, and scrollbar fonts.  It's 
about 550K.
