Minion doesn't have all the accented character combinations it could, and also doesn't have the "combining" versions of the standalone diacritics. On the other hand, Mac OS doesn't yet (10.4.x) support the OpenType positioning functionality (mark attachment) needed to make such diacritics work well in most Mac apps. InDesign CS3 has such functionality itself regardless; I don't know about LeTeX. Adobe has the long-term intention to further expand Minion and Myriad to add more glyphs and OpenType mark attachment functionality. But such new versions won't be available any time soon, so don't hold your breath. Regards, T
