Clone the repository

I made a repository with a 1-line script to get the setup done.

Either

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex.git

or

git clone --depth 1 [email protected]:pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex.git

Copy Lucida files

Put the corresponding zip files for Lucida in the root folder of this repository. These files are lucida-type1.zip and lucimacros.zip.

Copy Minion Pro files

MinionPro-BoldCnIt.otf
MinionPro-BoldCn.otf
MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
MinionPro-Bold.otf
MinionPro-It.otf
MinionPro-MediumIt.otf
MinionPro-Medium.otf
MinionPro-Regular.otf
MinionPro-SemiboldIt.otf
MinionPro-Semibold.otf

# Fedora/RedHat
sudo dnf install lcdf-typetools

# Mac
brew install lcdf-typetools

# I don't know about other Linux/Unix systems

Run the script for Linux (and also Mac or Unix)

Run the script install.sh and select the available options:

1. Install Lucida
2. Install Minion Pro
3. Install Both

cd lucida-minion-tex
bash install.sh

Steps for Windows

1. Create the C:\texfonts folder.
2. Unzip the lucida-type1.zip and lucimacros.zip files into C:\texfonts.
3. Copy minion-nofont contents to folder to C:\texfonts, unzip all the zip files and then delete the zip files.
4. Go to the Miktex configuration (Start > Programs > MiKTeX > Maintenance).
5. Add the folder created in the first step (see image 1).
6. Update the FNDB and formats (see image 2) don’t forget to click “apply” and then “ok”.
7. Restart the computer.

To convert the font from OTF to TeX format you need to run something of the form:

@echo off

echo "Creating PostScript fonts ..."

for %%i in (minion/*.otf) do cfftot1    minion/otf/%%i minion-nofont/pfb/%%~ni.pfb
for %%i in (minion/*.otf) do t1dotlessj minion/pfb/%%~ni.pfb minion-nofont/pfb/%%~niLCDFJ.pfb

I don’t use Windows, so this is what my imagination says is the adaption from the Linux script.
