I bought the two semibold .otf weights, and then used TeXFontUtility to install all three weights on top of the two that were there (after which I reinstalled the newest encoding files.) Maybe I should completely delete Minion Pro and do it again. It almost seems as if it's (usually?) substituting bold when I request semibold.

It works perfectly! It's selecting both the regular and semibold weights, and as far as I can tell nothing else is screwed up. Thanks!
