Some problems with Minion pro fonts

Post by tullio »

Good morning,
I am trying to use the Minion Pro fonts that I bought and I have some problems : many characters are not recognized by Texshop. For instance : « », È, œ. May you help me to understand what it does not work ? This is a part of my preamble :

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,footinclude=true,headinclude=true]{scrbook}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\usepackage{graphicx} %% For \scalebox
\usepackage[tight,french]{minitoc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[linedheaders,parts,pdfspacing,dottedtoc]{classicthesis}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\setmainfont{Minion Pro}

Hi and welcome,

even if i would posses the font, i couldn't compile your code, as stuff is missing.
I see you are loading fonspec and thus using Xe- or LuaTeX. Good idea. But in order to use them you should use utf8 as inputencoding and not use package inputenc.

Package hyperref should be (some exceptions) loaded as the last package.

What do you mean by TeXshop does not recognize them? Is the editor unable to display those charackters in the editor writing window, or is the pdf viewer unable to display the charackters in the final pdf?
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I found that the following command \XeTeXinputencoding iso-8859-1 was able to compile my document the way I wished. But I do need to enter in my preamble :\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}. It works fine. The only persistent problem I have consists in some letters or signs which are not recognized by bibtex. But I fixed them one by one when needed.
