#672 nedit doesn't handle absense of xfonts well (XFT issue?)

Milestone: development

A bug report in Ubuntu [1] showed that nedit crashes when xfonts are not installed (which is not the case by default in Ubuntu anymore). If I understand correctly, with the XFT support, they should also not be needed anymore (is that correct?), but I guess nedit could be more robust against this situation (or at least provide a better error).

For more information, see the Ubuntu bug.
