Nope, couldn't do it. I am _almost_ sorry to say that luatex on linux-64 is behaving fine. Mojca (or someone else that has this 'Parsing CFF' problem), can you try to pinpoint the problem in a debugger?
Which debugger Taco ?
A source debugger (like gdb). You'll also need to comment out the "$STRIP "$B"/texk/web2c/luatex" line in build.sh, otherwise the debugger cannot use symbols.
The message is produced by font/writecff.c, line 820:
pdftex_fail("Parsing CFF DICT failed. (error=%d)", status);
you can set a breakpoint there, but the error happens earlier.
The (error=-1) actually signifies a CFF parsing (decoding) error, but that does not help much in finding the problem. What is needed is at least a stack backtrace, and probably also the current location inside the CFF file.

There's a windows version at http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?call=gdb and I'm trying to figure out how to use this thing. That's for the day after tomorrow. To be continued... Best, Alan
