For some reason, the Xft call I use will always succeed on loading
nonexistant fonts; it just substitutes a weird-looking broken font
with bad bearing metrics instead.  The result is that some kinds of
windows render at huge widths.

I'll look into this, and try to get it to behave.

This is almost always a sign that the program in question is using
something other than GTK to render text in a particular widget.
Mozilla, for example, inlines the body of gdk_draw_text.
