Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Force "new style" numbers with Minion Pro

[bookgrinder]

Hi everybody, I'm happily using Minion for a book but I'd really like LaTeX to display "new style" numbers (the ones all the same height) instead of "old style". I'm sure Minion has them, but I don't know how to tell LaTeX to use them, at least for page numbers. Document class is scrbook (KOMA).
Thanks for your suggestions!

For an adequate problem description please add a minimal example that shows the undesired behaviour. Especially detailed information about the used typesetting engine (PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX) will be helpful.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Sorry, this should do:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[b5paper,13pt,toc=flat,DIV=15]{scrbook}
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\usepackage{MinionPro}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
These are numbers: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
\end{document}

I'm using MikTeX and installed Minion following the guide featured on this forum.

Since I don't have Minion Pro installed for PDFLaTeX (and never will), I can't help here. Perhaps somebody else can.

Usually font packages are loaded after the fontenc package. It's not for sure that this is related to the problem. Check the log file for any hints.

I'll reply to myself as I found the solution: load the MinionPro package with the textlf (lining figures) option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[textlf]{MinionPro}

Thanks for the information! I knew the mathlf option, for switching off oldstyle numbers in math mode with Minion Pro, which has been mentioned in the forum earlier: Roman font doesn't change, conflict with fontspec. Perhaps this is useful for you too, regarding math mode.
