[Tex/LaTex] MinionPro semibold/medium

boldfontsfontspecminionpro

After a day of struggle I managed to install the full family of MinionPro font on LaTeX.
After an hour of googling I cannot figure out how to use the medium (semibold) font. Ideally I would have something like a \sb command, eg., {\sb This is medium bold.}.

Here's a fontspec solution, which needs XeTeX or LuaTeX:

\documentclass[a6paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[%
    Numbers=OldStyle,
    Kerning=Uppercase,
    SizeFeatures={%
        {Size={-9},Font=* Caption},
        {Size={9-14},Font=*},
        {Size={14-24},Font=* Subhead},
        {Size={24-},Font=* Display}
    },
]{Minion Pro}
\newfontfamily\semibold[%
    Numbers=OldStyle,
    Kerning=Uppercase,
    SizeFeatures={%
        {Size={-9},Font=* Caption},
        {Size={9-14},Font=*},
        {Size={14-24},Font=* Subhead},
        {Size={24-},Font=* Display}
    },
]{Minion Pro Semibold}
\newcommand{\blah}{Once upon a time, 
    \textit{in a distant
    galaxy} called \textbf{Ööç},
    there lived a computer
    named {\bfseries\itshape R.~J. Drofnats.}\par}
\sloppypar
\begin{document}
\blah
\semibold
\blah
\end{document}

Notes:

Text courtesy of Prof. Knuth.
I've included the SizeFeatures just for illustration
I should have (perhaps) used Minion Std Black for the bold version of semibold; "this is left as an exercise for the reader".

Here's the result (with XeLaTeX):

[Tex/LaTex] \ell in MinionPro

The encoding for \ell has changed in newer versions of the MinionPro font. The encoding in the LaTeX package still points at the old glyph code. To fix this, edit the base-MinionPro-ab.enc file. (In Windows, Search Everything is very helpful for this task.) Simply replace the text afii61289 with uni2113 and your script \ell characters will magically reappear. This works either before or after the LaTeX font is installed.

[Tex/LaTex] MinionPro font with some symbols from kpfonts

I'm not sure this will help much. I will delete it if not. Most of it is copied and pasted from MinionPro.sty.

It is necessary to adapt the code from MinionPro.sty, especially to get the integrals working while bringing other symbols over from kpfonts. To do this, I've declared a new symbol font, intsymbols, and defined the integrals in terms of that font. This should mean that the initial declaration by kpfonts of symbols is operative for all other symbols.

I've removed the commands declaring operators because that's just overriding the declaration from kpfonts but you want most of them, at least, from there. To get the accents from MinionPro, I think it is better to treat them as an exception as with the integrals. So I've set up another symbol font, accents, for this.

Maths: MinionPro, kpfonts

I'm not sure but I think this should take the following from kpfonts:

All relation symbols except for any explicitly defined from MinionPro.
All the operators except for any explicitly defined from MinionPro, including the integrals.
All the arrows except for any explicitly defined from MinionPro.
All the delimiters except for any explicitly defined from MinionPro.
Blackboard.

The following should, I hope, come from MinionPro:

All the symbols from the original font (like \partial).
All the Greek letters and \mathrm, \mathit, \mathnormal, and the numbers.
Integrals.

It also takes the following from MinionPro:

Accents.
Calligraphic.

These are both marked up in the code so you can comment them out to get them from kpfonts if you prefer. Personally, I prefer the results with the blackboard bit commented but your kilometres may vary.

I currently have no idea how to pick and choose delimiters or how to pull the prime symbol only out. (I guess this is meant to come from MnSymbol but I don't know how to make that work.)

I also have no idea what you can do about the sizes in the absence of a scaling option. Usually, this is built into the font definition files. I think you might be able to adjust MinionPro since you have the opticals. I cannot play with this as I don't but perhaps using the normalsize/nonormalsize option or similar might be useful.
