> The problem was that ns-win created fontsets unconditionally during load and that lead to problems when running with -nw, in face_for_char.  Shouldn't fontsets/font objects be ignored if the terminal is a non-GUI one?

How did the code arrive at internal-char-font in this case?  The
backtrace indicates it was from Lisp, so can you post a Lisp
backtrace?
