Hi,

some of my apps are crashing when I use certain fonts.  In my .Xresources,
I have:

zwgc*fontfamily.huge*roman: -bitstream-charter-medium-r-*-*-33-*-*-*-p-*-*-*
zwgc*fontfamily.huge*bold: -bitstream-charter-bold-r-*-*-33-*-*-*-p-*-*-*
zwgc*fontfamily.huge*italic: -bitstream-charter-medium-i-*-*-33-*-*-*-p-*-*-*
zwgc*fontfamily.huge*bolditalic: -bitstream-charter-bold-i-*-*-33-*-*-*-p-*-*-*

When I receive a zephyr with a "huge" font, zwgc goes goodbye, and I get:

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  193
  Current serial number in output stream:  194

Anyone know what's going on?  I have plenty of memory free, according to
"free"...

Thanks,
Eric
