That does the trick. Fonts that are unproblematic:

  -- -outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

  -- -outline-Symbola-normal-normal-normal-serif-13-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1

  -- -outline-BatangChe-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-gb2312.1980-0

Fonts that cause a slow-down:

  -- -outline-MingLiU-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1

  -- -outline-MS Gothic-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-jisx0208*-*

>   emacs -Q -fn "Arial Unicode MS"

Indeed that makes the problem go away. Still it’s not a solution as I
prefer the other fonts, and I don’t see why they should be avoided.
