PDF Creation hangs at "building font table"

Question

When printing the current page of a multipe page document, it takes at least two minutes to make the pdf... if it makes it that far.  Sometimes the print will fail with the messages:
%%[ Error: undefined: OffendingCommand: t, ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ] %%
%%[ warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
However, if it does succeed in creating the PDF, following documents will usually work fine (for awhile).
Does anyone have a fix for this?
P.S. I found a reference to a post from Tim Kroehler about "font creation being too slow", but I could not find that post to see if it would help.

This sounds very familiar.
Various versions of Java have over the years installed faces of the Lucida font family
in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\fonts
(or similar depending upon the OS and Java version) directory.
Java 7.x seems to have only the Lucida Sans Regular font in that directory.
Other applications install as part of their own directories various other Java libraries also with a fonts directory with up to eight different faces of Lucida. In those which I find on my system, all the fonts have “restricted embedding.”
And those fonts installed by Java were set for “restricted embedding.” No PDF production program should ever allow such fonts to be embedded due to the licensing thereof. We at Adobe won't comment further on what Nitro may or may not be doing legally!!! 
Various font vendors do license various faces of the Lucida family that do allow embedding. In fact some of them are bundled with Windows and/or Office although Lucida Sans Bold  doesn't appear to be one of those.
