Install the XEmacs general-docs package, then C-h i d m fontconfig
RET. Don't believe everything you read, I know for sure that those
docs are out of date etc (my version is more up-to-date than the one
Keith Packard distributes, but it's still only about 90% reality :-).

Look in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Urk! I have a couple of such
references. So why don't I crash?!? Oh, I see, I must have got lazy
at some point because I've got specific fonts in xrdb. If I clear
them out, I get the crash.
oh! it's NOT the fonts i have, it's the fonts fontconfig THINKS that
maybe i can have around... but it's strange! (never mind, i'll read
the docs)
OK, try this patch, please:
asap --- an 'ad interim' thank you
