It is an adobe font that is bundled with the Acrobat Reader. It is an otf
font that was converted with "cfftot1" to *.pfb postscript font. Font
metrics and scripts can be downloaded at
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/minionpro/
I use it very often and so far I didn't have problems.

Yes, with --verbose-debug-annoying I can see that it stops at:
find_tex_file: MinionPro-It--lcdfj.vf ->
Followed by the same error message as in the first post. Unfortunately the
vf-file is not there but the tfm file. As far as I know does this file
describe the dotless-j for whatever reasons. So I think this particular file
is not very important for math output.
