Actually, since I hadn't had my morning coffee when writing
that mail, I mistyped. I ment Minion Pro, not Myriad Pro. Myriad Pro
goes *great* with Minion Pro, and I *really* recommend using it with the
=microtype= package in LaTeX. But now I'm very much OT.

However, Minion and Myriad are actually bundled with Adobe Acrobat
Reader. I'm not too sure about licensing and such, but the fonts can be
found somewhere in the Acrobat Reader-directory. In their otf-versions.
