The Xlib function XLoadQueryFont, if given a non-existent font name,
should ALWAYS generate two protocol-level errors from the X server.
(The first, BadName from OpenFont; the second, BadFont from
QueryFont.) But Xlib expects these errors and should eat them, turning
them into a NULL return from XLoadQueryFont.
Therefore, it's quite possible that the bug is in the RS/AIX Xlib,
rather than in the X server. Someone should try running an R4 client
(on a Vax, RT, or Sun) against the RS/AIX server, as well as running
an RS/AIX client against an R4 server, to see where the problem
really is.
