Thanks for the prompt answer. This was indeed a font-related issue. I
temporarily moved my font collection out of the way -- it is not very
big, but contains some ttf fonts from random web sources -- and then
everything worked. I'll try to find out what font might be the cause,
and isolate it.

And for the record:

$ freetype-config --version
9.16.3

Thanks a lot!
