the problem seems to due to Hemlock trying to open a font that you
don't have installed. (NAME-ERROR is being signaled by CLX, and it's
telling you that an OpenFont call failed on the X11 server; the rest
of the error message is the Motif debugger failing noisily).

Hemlock under X defaults to trying to use X11 fonts named

   "*-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*"
   "*-courier-medium-o-normal--*-120-*"
   "*-courier-bold-r-normal--*-120-*"

and will fail if the X11 server doesn't have these available. You can
change the default fonts from your Hemlock initialization file, for
example 

,---- $HOME/.hemlock-init.lisp
| (in-package :hemlock)
| 
| (setv default-font "fixed")
| (setv open-paren-highlighting-font "fixed")
| (setv active-region-highlighting-font "fixed")
