Hi,

I am trying to install MinionPro on my new machine running Ubuntu. I am using tex-live 2012, and I followed the instructions at

 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/minionpro 

to install the fonts. I use latex - dvips - ps2pdf to compile my latex. But when I run dvips I get the following error:

will at noga:~/Dropbox/Essays$ dvips MathAsLiterature.dvi

I followed the same steps to install the fonts on my previous computer (running Mac OS X) and everything worked perfectly, so I'm not sure what's going on with my current installation. I wonder if you could help me troubleshoot these problems?

Thanks for you help!

Best,

Will
