Problem with Minion Pro

Question

I have a weird problem with the output using MinionPro fonts. The characters "Th" after a period produces a strange output; for example

\documentclass[14pt, a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{MinionPro}
\begin{document}

Testing Minion Pro. The Minion Pro package...

\end{document}

produces the following output:

Testing Minion Pro. fb e Minion Pro package...

Does anybody have a clue of what's happening?

Everything is fine here, with Lubuntu 11.10 and texlive 2011.
Also, possible font size options for report are 10pt (standard), 11pt, and 12pt. For more sizes, have a look at the extsizes document classes.
Thanks for the answers...The OS is WinXP, with MikTeX 2.8 + TexnicCenter. The weird thing is that in my desktop PC this "problem" does not appear! (the OS is Win 7 with MikTeX 2.9 + TexnicCenter + "fontspec" NOT loaded!). I've also tried with 11 and 12pt...

I bet this is a an automatic ligature -- th.

Minion Pro Ligatures

It's just a default feature of the font. It's not an error. You can disable it with fontspec, but I don't think it's desirable.

	The fontspec package does not solve the problem. – Anibal Dec 19 '12 at 20:03

	The fontspec SOLVED the problem...My mistake...The line \usepackage[T1]{fontspec} produces the right output. Thanks to everybody! – Anibal Dec 19 '12 at 20:15
