Dear strepXeTeXperts,
I've been trying to use Minion MM with xetex. It works to some extent.
I can get variations along the optical axis. However, the other axes
don't work properly.
These work as expected:
\font\myfont="Minion MM Roman:weight=500; width=600; optical size=10"
at 12pt
\font\myfont="Minion MM Roman:weight=500; width=600; optical size=12"
at 12pt
\font\myfont="Minion MM Roman:weight=500; width=600; optical size=14"
at 12pt
However, these do not work:
\font\myfont="Minion MM Roman:weight=500; width=600; optical size=12"
at 12pt
\font\myfont="Minion MM Roman:weight=550; width=600; optical size=12"
at 12pt
\font\myfont="Minion MM Roman:weight=600; width=600; optical size=12"
at 12pt
The second two produce identical output.
In general, I cannot seem to get any interpolation along the weight or
width axes. I just get one extreme or the other. Moreover, which
extreme I get is very hard to predict.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a problem with xetex? Or is it a
problem with ATSUI?
Best wishes,
Jonathan Nicholl
