Minion Pro: lining figures shown as empty boxes

Question

Setting: Windows 7 64bit, MiKTeX, pdfLaTeX, specifically, I followed these instructions.

Having re-installed again and again, trying to make sure that I am not missing anything from the installation instructions, I still have the same problem: lining figures are shown as empty boxes.

MWE:

\documentclass[10pt,english,a5paper]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\usepackage{MinionPro}
\usepackage{fonttable}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

\makeatother
\begin{document}
Normal Text: 0123456789

Math Mode: $0123456789$
\end{document}

outputs:

\usepackage[textlf]{MinionPro}

option outputs:

Curious, I tried:

\begin{document}
\fonttable{MinionPro-Regular-Base-aa}

\end{document}

The output:

So, at least to my understanding, the lining figures are “there.”

What else should I try? What might I be doing wrong? I am frustrated because almost no one else have this problem, so I should be something wrong, and strangely, only the lining figures seem to be the problem.

For me it works fine (same system as you). Could you check the contents of the MinionPro.map? It should contains lines like MinionPro-Bold- lf-l1-lgi--base MinionPro-Bold "AutoEnc_irupxkrjzh7fov4222hjskvybc ReEncodeFont" <[a_irupxk.enc <MinionPro-Bold.pfb(I have 4721 lines like that). — Bernard, Sep 12 '15 at 11:53
@Bernard I have lines like: MinionPro-Bold--lcdfj MinionPro-BoldLCDFJ "" <MinionPro-BoldLCDFJ.pfb MinionPro-Bold-Base-aa MinionPro-Bold "MinionPro-Base-Encoding-aa ReEncodeFont" <[base-MinionPro-aa.enc <MinionPro-Bold.pfb — blackened, Sep 12 '15 at 12:08
Could make a search in the file to see if the chain -lf- appears. In …\tex\latex\MinionPro, I have files like T1MinionPro-LF.fd parallel to T1MinionPro-OsF.fd,T1MinionPro-TLF.fd,T1MinionPro-TOsF.fd. Also, where exactly did you install the MinionPro package and fonts? — Bernard, Sep 12 '15 at 12:19
@Bernard no -lf- appears. I followed the instruction mentioned at the top of my post. (You can view the .PDF file) — blackened, Sep 12 '15 at 12:40

Finally figured it out. The problem was that the guide I mentioned at the top of the post is wrong/outdated. The corrected version is here.

Specifically,

Wrong:

C:\Users\Phil\AppData\Local\MikTeX\2.8

Correct:

C:\Users\Phil\AppData\Roaming\MikTeX\2.8

Wrong:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\MikTeX\2.x\fonts\type1\Adobe\MinionPro\

Correct:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\MikTeX\2.x\fonts\type1\Adobe\MinionPro\

I added the files to both of these directories (\AppData\Local\ and \AppData\Roaming) and I still get these empty boxes. What else could it be? – Lucas Paiva Mar 21 '22 at 13:57

My problem with these empty boxes is even worse:

  \verb|\figureversion{lf,prop}|
    & \figureversion{lf,prop}0123456789 \\
  \verb|\figureversion{lf,tab}|
    & \figureversion{lf,tab}0123456789 \\
  \verb|\figureversion{osf,prop}|
    & \figureversion{osf,prop}0123456789 \\
  \verb|\figureversion{osf,tab}|
    & \figureversion{osf,tab}0123456789 \\
Bold\\


\verb|\figureversion{lf,prop}|
    & \figureversion{lf,prop}\textbf{0123456789} \
  \verb|\figureversion{lf,tab}|
    & \figureversion{lf,tab}\textbf{0123456789} \
  \verb|\figureversion{osf,prop}|
    & \figureversion{osf,prop}\textbf{0123456789} \
  \verb|\figureversion{osf,tab}|
    & \figureversion{osf,tab}\textbf{0123456789} \
Italic\\


\verb|\figureversion{lf,prop}|
    & \figureversion{lf,prop}\textit{0123456789} \
  \verb|\figureversion{lf,tab}|
    & \figureversion{lf,tab}\textit{0123456789} \
  \verb|\figureversion{osf,prop}|
    & \figureversion{osf,prop}\textit{0123456789} \
  \verb|\figureversion{osf,tab}|
    & \figureversion{osf,tab}\textit{0123456789} \

Result:

How can it show the tabulars and not the linings? And how can I have bold and italic versions, but not the regular one?
