Minion Pro Italic

[Jack DeLand]

Thanks, Dov.

 

To be utterly clear: choosing Minion Pro in the Family dropdown and
selecting Italic from the Angle dropdown in creating a Character or
Paragraph style will result in the Minion Pro Italic font being used when
output through an Oce' VarioPrint 6160 digital printer?  My concern was that
it might drop the italic and substitute the regular font.

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
