I experience a font issue with Lucida Sans Unicode between Mac and PC. I decided to set up a test to find out where this goes wrong so I deleted ALL versions of Lucida Sans Unicode from my MacOS system. Now the MacOS Finder preview shows a different font, that makes sense since lucida is not available in the system font library. Dec 12, 2019 I upgraded to MicroOffice Home and Business 2019 when I got my new computer this yearl, but I only have the Lucida Console and Lucida Sans Unicode fonts. I have used Lucida Calligraphy on quite a few docs created over the years. Thank you for contacting me on this. See full list on phon.ucl.ac.uk. This font uploaded 28 February 2013.

This font available for Windows 7 and Mac OS in TrueType(.ttf) and OpenType(.otf) format.

Lucida Grande is a humanist sans-serif typeface. It is a member of the Lucida family of typefaces designed by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes. It’s best known for its implementation throughout the macOS user interface from 1999 to 2014, as well as in other Apple software like Safari for Windows. As of OS X Yosemite (version 10.10), the system font was changed from Lucida Grande to Helvetica Neue.[1] In OS X El Capitan (version 10.11) the system font changed again, this time to San Francisco.[2]
The typeface looks very similar to Lucida Sans and Lucida Sans Unicode. Like Sans Unicode, Grande supports the most commonly used characters defined in version 2.0 of the Unicode standard.
Three weights of Lucida Grande: Normal, Bold, and Black, in three styles: Roman, Italic, and Oblique, were developed by Bigelow & Holmes. Apple released the Regular (Normal Roman) and Bold Roman with OS X.
In June, 2014, Bigelow & Holmes released four weights: Light, Normal, Bold, and Black, in three styles: Roman, Italic, and Oblique. B&H also released Narrow versions of those twelve weight/styles, plus four Lucida Grande Monospaced fonts in Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic styles, with narrow versions of the four monospaced weight/styles.[3]
Lucida Grande fonts directly from Bigelow & Holmes contain the pan-European WGL character set.
Scripts and Unicode ranges[edit]
Lucida Grande contains 2,826 Unicode-encoded glyphs (2,245 characters) in version 5.0d8e1 (Revision 1.002).

Similarity to Lucida Sans/Lucida Sans Unicode[edit]
Almost all glyphs in Lucida Grande (and Lucida Grande Bold) look identical to their matching counterparts in Lucida Sans (and Lucida Sans Demibold) as well as Lucida Sans Unicode, with the very few exceptions of:
These slightly different characters look clearer in small font sizes in display and user interface (especially graphical and web-based) uses.
Note: If you have installed Lucida Grande font on Windows or Linux you will see followings above.
Uses[edit]
Apart from macOS releases prior to OS X Yosemite, many websites and blogs use Lucida Grande as the default typeface for body text, for example Facebook and many phpBBforums. Since this typeface is usually absent from most other operating systems like Windows and Linux, the CSSstyle sheets of these websites often include the fonts (usually Sans-serif: Tahoma, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Segoe UI, Calibri, DejaVu Sans, Arial, Open Sans, or even Lucida Sans Unicode, in case Lucida Grande is unavailable for rendering. After the introduction of OS X Yosemite where Lucida Grande is no longer used as the default system font, several developers have created utilities to bring Lucida Grande back as the default system font.[6]
Although it was designed primarily as a screen font, Lucida Grande/Sans also appears frequently in print, due at least in part to the ubiquity of Mac platform (and thus the typeface) in professional-grade desktop publishing. The Getty-DubayItalic Handwriting Series of penmanship workbooks in particular is typeset primarily in a specially modified version of Lucida Sans (with a cursive lowercase 'y'), as its monoline italic bears a close resemblance to the form of writing that the program teaches.

A sample of Lucida Sans Unicode
In digital typography, Lucida Sans UnicodeOpenTypefont from the design studio of Bigelow & Holmes[1] is designed to support the most commonly used characters defined in version 1.0 of the Unicode standard. It is a sans-serif variant of the Lucida font family and supports Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Hebrew scripts, as well as all the letters used in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
It is the first Unicode encoded font to include non-Latin scripts (Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew). It was designed by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow in 1993, and was first shipped with the Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 operating system.

The font comes pre-installed with all Microsoft Windows versions since Windows 98. A nearly identical font, called Lucida Grande, ships as the default system font with Apple's Mac OS X operating system, until switching to Helvetica Neue in 2014 with OS X Yosemite, and in addition to the above, also supports Arabic and Thai scripts.
Letters in the International Phonetic Alphabet, particularly upside down letters, are aligned for easy reading upside down. Thus, the font is among the most ideal for upside-down text, compared to other Unicode typefaces, which have the turned 't' and 'h' characters aligned with their tops at the base line and thus appear out of line.

A flaw in Lucida Sans Unicode is in the combininglow line character (U+0332) and the combining double low line character (U+0333), which are rendered as a blank or as a simple tiny underline when font-size is less than 238 point or so in word processors, whereas combining double low line is rendered a simple low line in web browsers, no matter which font is used.
Other well-known Unicode fonts include Code2000, Arial Unicode MS, and the various free software Unicode typeface projects.
