I have finally figured out, why XCreateFontSet() fails.
It was due to a broken font installed on the system.
Somewhere in a deep callstack withing xlib, XListFontsWithInfo() returns without
error, but also with setting the &font_set->info argument it gets passed from
load_font_info() to 0x0. Next thing happening in load_font_info() is
if (font_set->info == NULL)
return False;
This goes all the way up the stack until XCreateFontSet() fails.
(When I test the font with xfd the error message is
X Error of failed request: 82
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Serial number of failed request: 45
Current serial number in output stream: 46
)
I also have the crazy idea, that the font was "broken" because it's name and
alias entry in the fonts.alias file were the same. When I removed these entries
and re-ran mkfontdir, everything was fine.
