[Tex/LaTex] $\epsilon$ undefined using Minion Pro with pdftex

fontsminionpro

I'm using MiKTeX 2.9 and have recently installed the Minion Pro fonts for use with pdftex. I followed the instructions available on CTAN to install them.

Everything works as expected, but in place of the Greek letter epsilon I get a box with a cross (see below), and the following warning:

I found the issue was reported here, but I still can't fix it. xelatex works fine, but I'd like to to stick to pdftex so I can use microtype.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{MinionPro}

\begin{document}

Text here. $\epsilon$

\end{document}

UPDATE: a set of instructions for the installation of the up-to-date FontPro scripts with MiKTeX can be found here.

Best Answer

You should update your encoding files. The scripts on CTAN are long out of date; the most up-to-date version (forked from the scripts on CTAN) can be found at https://github.com/sebschub/FontPro/.

This issue has also been raised for the new scripts, but could not be reproduced so far. Maybe some answer will emerge.

(Workaround: use \varepsilon.)
