Yes, this issue has been around for about a year now.  I can't explain
why this _sometimes_ works.  I've never succeeded in building Asymptote
on my machine.  Currently our LaTeX package cannot compile a document
with a "tabular" entry, which is what fails when building Asymptote's
documentation.

Which font stuff in particular?  It sounds like we've got multiple
issues.  What I wanted to work on is packaging all the texlive packages
according to the tlpdb (the TexLive package database).  This should fix
the broken packages.  Not sure if there is something else wrong with the fonts.
