So the question now becomes: how did that glyph_string got a NULL
font?  The answer is somewhere in the code that generates glyph
strings as part of the call to BUILD_GLYPH_STRINGS.  Can you try
figuring out why does that happen, by stepping through the code in
BUILD_GLYPH_STRINGS?

What kind of face is s->face?

Thanks.
