copied the .otf file from the TypeKit font cache directory to
~/.fonts. On linux that works perfectly, on OS X, I _think_ i had to
change some fontconfig files to include that location.
I just booted to linux, and generated my PDF. In comparison, I used
the same font in LibreOffice writer (not necessarily the best
typographical tool in the world), and this is the comparison:

big to attach).
the ligature is obviously there in my copy of the font.

Minion is beautiful -- I use it as a CI font in a different
enterprise. :) For music, I like Kepler, which also has a massive
assortment of weights and styles. Thanks for your include file, that
gives me some ideas and answers another question i've had drafted in a
mail for a while... :D
