I noticed with surprise that many Adobe fonts, including one of my favourites Minion Pro, do not have the commonest set of diacritic marks used for transliterations from non-latin scripts (like in Unicode Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Latin Extended Additional). When I use text processors like Word or others (Latex) these characters are not available and I have to switch to another type of font. Does this problem have a solution? I can't believe that a set of professional set of fonts like Minion is not suitable for being used in scholarly publications. Please note that I am a Mac user.

Thank you
