As I said, try a simple sample and prove this to yourself. You aren't going to
print to that Océ 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.

Importance: High
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
