Howdy,

I had to create a luaotfload-blacklist.cfg file because Skia gave a problem. I enclose that file. I placed it in ~/Library/texmf/luatex (creating directories as necessary).

Basically it contains a list of Paths to fonts that give a problem. Supposedly you need not give the full Path but I did. You also needn't give the extension and I didn't; I assume if you have multiple versions you might have to add the extension.

Good Luck,
