As I said, try a simple sample and prove this to yourself. You aren't going to 
print to that Oc? printer directly, but rather, via a PDF file. Create the PDF 
file and see what's there both visually and via Ctrl-D and check the font 
listing. It should show the italic face.

Thanks, Dov.

To be utterly clear: choosing Minion Pro in the Family dropdown and selecting 
Italic from the Angle dropdown in creating a Character or Paragraph style will 
result in the Minion Pro Italic font being used when output through an Oce' 
VarioPrint 6160 digital printer?  My concern was that it might drop the italic 
and substitute the regular font.

Choosing the italic style of Minion Pro Regular should yield the true italic 
when displaying, printing, and/or creating PDF.

You can verify this by testing with some text using lower case 'a' and similar 
characters which are very different in real italic than in synthesized (i.e. 
obliqued) italic.

Subject: Minion Pro Italic

Hello Framers,

FM 10.0.1.408 as part of TCS3, Win 7, 12 GB RAM

I purchased 3 fonts from Linotype: Minion Pro (Regular), Minion Pro SemiBold, 
and Minion Pro Italic.  In Paragraph Designer's Family box I can see entries 
for "Minion Pro" and "Minion SmBd".  I don't see a separate Italic version 
there. I can get an italic look by choosing Minion Pro and selecting "Italic" 
in the Angle dropdown.  But is this actually using the Minion Pro Italic font, 
or is it an effect on the Regular font?  I am setting a book up for pre-press.

TIA,

Jack DeLand
