Thanks for reporting this.  I'm in the process of replacing a Mac OSX
system disk
and reinstalling apps.   I got the same message:

Invalid fontname `Minion Pro', contains ' '

but haven't had time to investigate.   I'll start by checking permissions using
something like:

FC_DEBUG=8 fc-list Minion\ Pro | awk -v FS='"' '/file:/{print $2}' |xargs ls -l

I just tried this on my laptop and found a bunch of -rw-rw-rw fonts, so looks
like font permissions need to be checked routinely.
