Hmm, I did try the "xfd -fn ..." route with a few of the MS fonts
at -iso10646-1 encoding. (I reckon there is no point trying the iso8859-X
ones, as since they are so common, if there is any problem if would be
"head-line news"), and I couldn't crash my X server.

And I did try the arphic fonts at big5 encoding (well, my favourite),
can't get it to crash either.
