Hi Kanak,

It looks like we will be installing tex-gyre by default on Lucid (it's a 
dependency of "context", which is a dependency of "texlive-full", which we 
install). There are prototype dialup machines running Lucid accessible at 
test.dialup.mit.edu, which you should be able to use to compile your 
document, and we plan on upgrading cluster machines to Lucid soon.
