  icomment:  At least a contributing factor to the problem  appears to be confusion
             over the proper scope  of font names as a Tcl_ObjType. Should a
             particular  meaning of a font name have control over just one  screen?
             Or one interp? Or one "application" ?

             It appears that an intrep of a "font" value is  getting used in one Tk
             "application" when it was  set in (and stored in the fontCache of)
             another  Tk "application". Later on attempting to tear down  twice
             what was only constructed once causes the abort.

             Some advice from the designer(s) of the font system  would be useful.
