[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
* Install this file as ~/.Xdefaults
-------

[Xdefaults (text/plain, inline)]

Emacs.FontBackend: xft
Emacs.font: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10.5

-------
* start emacs-23 (I'm using a nightly build from http://porkrind.org/emacs/) on MacOS
* `M-x set-default-font<RET>monaco 14'

Emacs crashes.




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Hi,

Are you 100% you are running the emacs you are reporting the bug from  
when you get the crash you describe?  The config info says "--with- 
ns" and "apple-appkit", but:

1) ~/.Xdefaults is not read when running under NS
2) It is impossible to type "M-x set-default-font monaco 14" as you  
describe -- completion fails.

Closing, no further confirmation, and the report does not seem  
consistent.
