Using Minion Pro in Overleaf in 2022

Small guide on the most easy way to use Minion Pro in Overleaf, avoiding all the uncessary / outdated steps (such as e.g. using the MinionPro package, which does not work in Overleaf, or dealing with .sty files)

Get Minion Pro

Follow these steps if you dont have Minion Pro yet.

  1. Download and Install Adobe Reader
  2. Locate the font: On MacOS, it can be found here: /Applications/Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.app/Contents/Resources/Resource/Font. On other operating systems its probably similar.

Enable Minion Pro

  1. Upload the files MinionPro-Bold.otf, MinionPro-BoldIt.otf, MinionPro-Regular.otf, MinionPro-It.otf to your Overleaf project.
  2. Change the Overleaf compiler to XeLaTeX in the Overleaf menu.
  3. Paste the following into the top of your document:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{MinionPro-Regular.otf}[
  BoldFont       = MinionPro-Bold.otf,
  ItalicFont     = MinionPro-It.otf,
  BoldItalicFont = MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
]

Done
