I run the following MWE using LuaLaTeX in TeXworks

\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{MinionPro}

\begin{document} 
   \textsc{Hello World.}
\end{document}

and it gives an error File MinionPro.sty not found.

If I now input the file name with the full path,

C:/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/MinionPro/MinionPro.sty

it finds the file, but produces an output that isn't in small caps so there seems to be a substitution at work.

The log file says

Try loading font information for TU+MinionPro-OsF" and "No file TUMinionPro-OsF.fd

which is correct - there are OT1, OT2 fds (among others) but no TU file.

So where should the .sty (and Fd) files be put so that TeXworks will find them? And will the TU issue then resolve itself?

  • (1) welcome, (2) How did that MinionPro.sty get there? My TeXLive 2017 does not include it. – daleif Feb 09 '18 at 17:53
  • Do you actually have the MinionPro font? The files from CTAN, does not include the font (as far as I know) – daleif Feb 09 '18 at 17:55
  • I went through a partially successful fontinst process that created the .sty file and then I copied the files by hand into TeXworks and added the path (apparently unsuccessfully) using its Preferences. I copied the fd files from Adobe Acrobat and added a online ones as an experiment. – DLyons Feb 09 '18 at 17:57
  • (1) did you update the file name database? Searching disk is a costly operation, so latex relies on prebuild lists of file locations. (2) personal stuff should not go into the texmf-dist tree, probably better in texmf-local\tex\latex – daleif Feb 09 '18 at 17:59
  • You can always test whether latex can find a file by using e.g.kpsewhich MinionPro.sty in a terminal/dos prompt. – daleif Feb 09 '18 at 18:00
  • Yes, that did the trick!!! I knew how to update it in MiKTeX but had never needed to do it using TeXworks. I've still got the font substitution issue - back to Googling:-) – DLyons Feb 09 '18 at 18:38
  • note the issue is unrelated to texworks (which is just the editor so not responsible for finding any files) it is the texlive configuration that you need – David Carlisle Feb 09 '18 at 18:50
  • with luatex you do not want to use the minionpro package to load an 8bit T1 encoded subset of the font, use fontspec and load the opentype font directly, see the example here https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34855/selecting-main-math-font-in-luatex – David Carlisle Feb 09 '18 at 18:54
  • For once, I prefer my Minion Pro in pdfLaTeX, because microtype works there better. If you have the font, have installed the font, and LaTeX now finds the .sty, use: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \usepackage[fullfamily,footnotefigures,lf]{MinionPro} \usepackage[toc,enum,eqno,bib]{tabfigures} \usepackage[scaled=0.9]{helvet} \usepackage[scaled=0.85]{beramono} \usepackage{MnSymbol} for more or less full setup. Of course, you can replace the helvet and beramono fonts with others of your choice. This config uses latex in pdf mode, not luatex. – Oleg Lobachev Feb 09 '18 at 19:18
  • Oh, and the insanely elaborate microtype setup for which I am willing to go such lengths is \usepackage[activate={true,nocompatibility},kerning=true,spacing=true,tracking=true,final]{microtype} \microtypecontext{spacing=nonfrench}. Take care, if you use ragged2e... – Oleg Lobachev Feb 09 '18 at 19:20
  • That's all very helpful - I've now got a very good looking pdf! For some reason I don't recall, microtype previously wouldn't allow the kerning option. – DLyons Feb 09 '18 at 19:42
  • So today I come back to this and there's a new set of errors. I'm totally lost, and will open a new question based on the new errors. – DLyons Feb 10 '18 at 15:54

Using luatex you can use the full Truetype font directly, you do not need to take a 127 (OT1) or 256 (T1) character subset of it as needed for classic TeX, you just need the font to be installed.

enter image description here

 \documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}

  \usepackage{fontspec}
  \setmainfont{Minion Pro}

  \begin{document} 

    \textsc{Hello World.} Hello World.

  \end{document}
