Re: Minion Pro

What did you download from his site? I only saw one file for Windows and that's the one I got. Also, what does it mean to 'un-tar.bz2 them in an lcdf/directory?' I did extract the files into a folder, but from there I don't know what to do.

Re: Minion Pro

Ah, I think I know at least part of the problem now! Thanks for the extra explanation. When I downloaded lcdf, I got Akira Kakuto's W32TeX, which the site said was a windows port.

Re: Minion Pro

Still no luck. I get the same messages as I did before, even when convert.bat is in the same folder as the fonts. I also downloaded the LCDF Type software, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that.

Re: Minion Pro

That output is exactly what I'm looking for! I've downloaded the files from CTAN, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do from the readme. I do have the version of MinionPro that comes with Adobe Reader, if that changes anything. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me through this!
