I can also reproduce this on 10.5.8 with the 2.5.0 install.

Just start xfontsel, pick apple as the foundry then xfontsel exits  
immediately with:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range  
for operation)
   Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
   Value in failed request:  0x400049
   Serial number of failed request:  2081
   Current serial number in output stream:  2082

Which looks like ticket 325 that's mentioned above except this is  
happening on Leopard with X11 2.5.0 installed.
I also get the same error when picking monotype as the foundry.
