Actually, it also sounds a lot like an issue I had found in a completly
different(?) context: Scribus doesn't like my FPL Neu font, see
<URL:http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=2494>. As noted in that bug
report, MinionPro when converted to Type1 is also affected. And that
looks really interesting (sarge with backports, XFree86)
<URL:http://www.tfkp.physik.uni-erlangen.de/~ralf/debian/xfontsel-minion.png>.
The problems with FPL Neu and scribus go away, if I use 'oneoldstyle'
and 'asc' instead of the (correct) 'one.oldstyle' and 'a.sc' as glyph
names for the old style 'one' and small cap 'a'. Now Latin Modern used
to use the old glyphnames without dots, but allready v0.982 (the oldest
version I have on my machine right now) uses the glyph names with dots.
It looks as if the Type1 handling of X11 incorrectly regards a dot as
marking the end of a Type1 glyph name.
