I ran git bisect over my config file history until I found out what triggered it. +(load-theme 'modus-vivendi t) -(load-theme 'monokai t) So moving to the modus-vivendi theme and loading my meetings, likely with highly indented sections of four levels or more, triggered some kind of font/face look up that emacs did not break out of. I don't have debug symbols, but the function names are in the backtrace.
