It would be good to discover where Emacs loops with the problematic
font, so we could at least try to present some meaningful error
message, if not avoid this entirely.  It would help if someone who can
reproduce the problem used the technique in etc/DEBUG for finding the
place in the code where we loop.

Thanks.
