Hello! I just downloaded and installed Minion Pro from Adobe; I know that all the ligatures and true small caps are supported, but I cant figure out how to access the "old style" numbers that are included in the font. Anybody know how to do this?

If the characters aren't mapped to the regular number keys they're most
likely Unicode which can be inserted through the OS X Character Palette

More information is available from this site, but if you need to do a great
deal of this type of entry you might want to search for other options:

Thank you very much; being very new to the macworld I didnt know abt the character palette yet; I can now access more MinionPro glyphs than I know what to do with. I just wish MSWord programmers would make it easier to get to them, like that fab menu in InDesign.

Do send feedback to Microsoft (via the Help menu). Someone in the Mac
Business Unit does see it. Be sure to be persuasive, though -- say why it's
a good idea etc.

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion Clive; I sent feedback today: pithy, but hopefully persuasive.

Just be a little careful: The feedback address gets so much rubbish there is
an automatic "naughty word filter" on the front of it, before any human
being gets to see it.

If your feedback contained any words or phrases that could be deemed
incorrect in "church", your carefully crafted 'encouragement' is now free
electrons in the bit-bucket. No human will ever see it, and it no longer
exists.

Just thought I would warn you

Cheers

Thanks for the 'warning' John; I was as proper and churchy as Sister Immaculata (pf the Bleeding Heart of Jesus) taught me to be in the 8th grade...
