Installing MinionPro on tex-live 2021
I recently spent a unimaginable amount of time installing MinionPro to use with latex. Here is how I eventually did it:
1) installed text-live 2021 full, the limited no-gui version did not work:
brew install --cask mactex
brew install lcdf-typetools
2) convert Minion otf files into the format text wants it.
git clone git\@github.com:sebschub/FontPro.git
cd FontPro
cp -r $path-to-otf-files .
# The files are now in a otf dir inside FontPro dir
sudo su
./scripts/makeall MinionPro
./scripts/install $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)
mktexlsr $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)
updmap-sys
exit
