This package can be downloaded from the project's homepage +(\fIhttp://developer.berlios.de/projects/minionpro\fR) or directly through +the \s-1CVS\s0 web interface +(\fIhttp://cvs.berlios.de/cgi\-bin/viewcvs.cgi/minionpro/MinionPro/tex/\fR), +and is also available from \s-1CTAN\s0 as part of the archive \fIbase\-v2.zip\fR +(\fIhttp://www.ctan.org/tex\-archive/fonts/minionpro/base\-v2.zip\fR). +.PP +Using the machinery set up by \fIfontaxes\fR, the generated style file +also defines a few commands (which take the text to be typeset as argument) +and declarations (which don't take arguments, but affect all text up to +the end of the current group) of its own: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& DECLARATION COMMAND SHORT FORM OF COMMAND +\& +\& \etlshape \etexttitling \etexttl +\& \esufigures \etextsuperior \etextsu +\& \einfigures \etextinferior \etextin +.Ve +.PP +In addition, the \f(CW\*(C`\eswshape\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\etextsw\*(C'\fR commands are redefined to place +swash on the secondary shape axis (\fIfontaxes\fR places it on the primary +shape axis); this allows the use of `upright swash'. +Just saying \f(CW\*(C`\eswshape\*(C'\fR will still give normal (italic) swash, +but \f(CW\*(C`\eswshape\eupshape\*(C'\fR results in upright swash. +.PP +Note that there is no separate command for accessing the italic titling shape; +but these commands behave properly when nested, so \f(CW\*(C`\etlshape\eitshape\*(C'\fR gives +italic titling. +There are also no commands for accessing the numerator and denominator +fonts; these can be selected using \fIfontaxes\fR' low-level commands, +e.g., \f(CW\*(C`\efontfigurestyle{numerator}\eselectfont\*(C'\fR. +.PP +The style file also provides a command \f(CW\*(C`\eornament{\f(CI<number>\f(CW}\*(C'\fR, +where \f(CW\*(C`\f(CI<number>\f(CW\*(C'\fR is a number from 0 to the total number of +ornaments minus one. Ornaments are always typeset using the current family, +series and shape. A list of all ornaments in a font can be created by +running LaTeX on the file \fInfssfont.tex\fR (part of a standard +LaTeX installation) and specifying the ornament font +(e.g., \fIMinionPro-Regular-orn-u\fR). +.PP +This whole machinery builds on \fIfontaxes\fR; if that package cannot be found, +the style file doesn't provide high-level access to the more `exotic' +font shapes and styles. In that case, you're limited to using the lower-level +commands from standard \s-1NFSS\s0, or even plain TeX's \f(CW\*(C`\efont\*(C'\fR primitive +(and it's called `primitive' for a reason!) +.Sh "Using multiple font families in one document" +.IX Subsection "Using multiple font families in one document" +If you want to use several font families in one document, make sure +all fonts were installed using the same version of \fBautoinst\fR. +\&\fBautoinst\fR has seen some non-backward-compatible changes in the past, +and \fI.sty\fR and \fI.fd\fR files that were generated by different versions +of \fBautoinst\fR may not be able to coexist peacefully. +.Sh "\s-1NFSS\s0 codes" +.IX Subsection "NFSS codes" +In \s-1NFSS\s0, weight and width are concatenated into a single `series' attribute. +(\fINote:\fR versions of \fBautoinst\fR before 2007\-07\-27 erroneously formed +the series as `width plus weight' instead of the reverse.) +\&\fBautoinst\fR maps widths, weights and shapes to \s-1NFSS\s0 codes using +the following tables.
