Is the error handler invoked? If so, it does not seem to work. Xterm  
or xfd clearly say that the font cannot be loaded and quit. Why is GNU  
Emacs spinning around in something like an infinite loop?

What is this talk of 'release?' Klingons do not make software  
'releases.'  Our software 'escapes,' leaving a bloody trail of  
designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
