Yes, it is.  The calls to XLoadQueryFont on lines 535 and 563 both
return NULL.  The first time it is called with
"-unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--15-*-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1", and the
second time with
""-unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--15-*-*-*-c-0-iso8859-1".  However,
even though XLoadQueryFont returns NULL, x_had_errors_p(display) is
false afterwards both times.
