This is where I have seen xterm to spend most of its time. In your log, this
block of statements appears to be repeated several times for each font it
checks in /etc/fonts. This would explain why it is related somehow to fonts
in your case.
It's a known issue with the Athena widget set (technically in a
lower-level library).
man xterm:
menuLocale (class MenuLocale)
Specify the locale used for character-set computations when
loading the popup menus. Use this to improve initialization
performance of the Athena popup menus, which may load unneces-
sary (and very large) fonts, e.g., in a locale having UTF-8
encoding. The default is an empty string, which uses the cur-
rent locale setting.
Set it to "C" to achieve the best performance using the
default menu resource settings. If you happen to be using
localized menu resources, set the resource accordingly.
