Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Pick a Type 1 font.
2.Run "showfont -server unix/:7100 -fnt <full font name>" (for 
example I used: "showfont -server unix/:7100 -fnt -b\&h-Luxi\ Mono-
bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1")
3.Connection closes and X font server has crashed. 
    

Additional info:

Problem was first noticed when attempting to contact the Font server 
directly. It would crash on FSQueryXExtents16() and FSQueryXBitmaps16
().
