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

Hello,

In both Emacs 25.1 and master (at 53f8f4b), calling find-font from an
Emacs built with X support and started with `emacs -nw' results in a
segfault.

In both cases I am testing on Fedora 25. The version of 25.1 I tested on
was Fedora's default version built with GTK, and master was built myself
with Lucid.

To reproduce:
  - Run `emacs -Q -nw'
  - Evaluate (find-font (font-spec :name "Anything-10"))

(It doesn't matter whether "Anything-10" is something made up or an
actual font on the system.)

The result of "thread apply all bt full" is attached. Please let me know
if I can provide any additional information.

        John

Similar, but this one was much easier to fix than that one.

Thanks.

Thanks, fixed on the master branch.
