Xfontsel uses the X server. When I select "apple" as foundry, i.e., I select fonts from /Library/Fonts or /System/Library/Fonts (why is there no ~/Library/Fonts?), it crashes. The xfontsel I am writing of is /usr/X11/bin/xfontsel from the X11 update 2.5.0 (Leopard 10.5.8 PPC, build 9L31a). When I select any Unicode encoded OT font, found in some other directory in my font path addition, xfontsel fails to display any glyphs. It looks to me as if the X server cannot deliver fonts derived from OT fonts.
What do you mean exactly by "crashes"? This might be a dup of http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/325 although I have only seen that problem on Snow Leopard not Leopard. regards, tom lane
