I am having trouble making sense of the descriptions. The actual otf family package seems to come with the following

Optical flavours
Caption
Regular/undesignated
Subhead
Display

Weights
Undesignated
Medium
Semi-bold
Bold

Slant
Undesginated (Roman)
Italic

I assume that MinionPro-Semibold.otf is the regular optical flavour, but how does MinionPro-Regular.otf differ from MinionPro-Medium.otf and MinionPro-Capt.otf differ from MinionPro-MediumCapt.otf?
