btw, I think there is another place also, but I can't look right now
since I have a font that crashes Fontforge on startup. Have to go fix
that, no rest for the wicked ...

Error attempting to load font:
  -cclib-song-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-1
The X Server clained the font existed, but when I asked for it,
I got this error instead:

X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45.0 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  4122

Seems like Fontforge should just ignore a bad font but it's something
that needs fixing anyhow so I won't bitch :)
