Well, at the risk of impertinence (since I can't directly address your 
question), if you have Adobe Reader, you've got Myriad Pro (as well as 
Minion Pro). I don't know what OS you have, but here's where I find it 
on the Mac:
/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/MacOS/Resource/Font/

HTH.
