installing MinionPro font on latex, some problems
Follow ONLY steps 1-4 from the linked instructions. Steps 5-6 and 8 are simply wrong. Step 9 is pointless and step 7 is inefficient.
Instead, after completing step 4, do this:
./scripts/install $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)
mkdir -p --parents $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)/web2c
echo Map MinionPro.map >> $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)/web2c/updmap.cfg
mktexlsr $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)
updmap-sys
If you are on Mac OS X and have not enabled root and are using a default MacTeX installation, you'll have to prefix every step with sudo or run sudo sh to get a privileged shell before you start.
Note that this is not tested as I do not use FontPro and am not using a Mac. I'm assuming that the instructions are basically right about how FontPro works. Given they are not reliable on how TeX Live works, this may not be a safe assumption.
