But then no MAP file tells TeX that the font name MinionPro-It-Base-ad is related to a scalable font and therefore no bitmap font files with different resolutions need to be generated. This "translation" from the TeX font name to the corresponding vector font file and its encoding is done via the MAP file. And therefore it's quite certain that the MinionPro.map file (fragment) has not yet been enabled.

Particularly the installation root /Library/TeX/Root/texmf is wrong. Packages from outside TeX Live belong into the /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local branch. Although it's confusing that the Minion Pro TFM support files /are/ part of TL 2012.

Howdy,

Since you have placed the files in your personal texmf tree you must run

updmap --enable MixedMap MinionPro.map

(NOTE: do NOT use sudo for items in your personal tree) since the system-wide map produced updmap-sys will not contain any information contained in any personal tree. This actually makes sense because another user (remember that OS X is really a multi-user system) won't have any of that information in their personal tree.

You should also check the `Automatically enable fonts in my home directory' preference option in TeX Live Utility. That way when you update TeX Live using TeX Live Utility it will automatically update your personal version of the map file too.

Finally, download TeXLive2012Changes.pdf.zip from <https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10932738/index.html>. It contains information about another way to keep your system properly updated using a updmap.cfg file. 

Good Luck,
