Minion Pro Italic

[Dov Isaacs]

Choosing the italic style of Minion Pro Regular should yield the true italic when displaying, printing, and/or creating PDF.

You can verify this by testing with some text using lower case 'a' and similar characters which are very different in real italic than in synthesized (i.e. obliqued) italic.

Hello Framers,

FM 10.0.1.408 as part of TCS3, Win 7, 12 GB RAM

I purchased 3 fonts from Linotype: Minion Pro (Regular), Minion Pro SemiBold, and Minion Pro Italic.  In Paragraph Designer's Family box I can see entries for "Minion Pro" and "Minion SmBd".  I don't see a separate Italic version there. I can get an italic look by choosing Minion Pro and selecting "Italic" in the Angle dropdown.  But is this actually using the Minion Pro Italic font, or is it an effect on the Regular font?  I am setting a book up for pre-press.

TIA,

Jack DeLand
