[mary-users] Stuck at starting server after creating new .config file

[Marc Schroeder]

Hello,

to add to that, I have the impression that you are creating a new 
pronunciation lexicon for German, locale "de":


 >> a) newvoice_de
 >> b) newvoice_de.lts
 >> c) newvoice_de_lexicon.dict
 >> d) newvoice_de_lexicon.fst (!! this file has 0 bytes)


Is that the case? If so, why don't you start from the existing German 
components and rather improve these?


Best,
Marc
