The import fonts utility does hang sometimes - it usually means there are some weird fonts in Windows. I've never known it affect any programs, though. The only thing I can think of is that you have imported a font with the same name but different properties over one of your X-fonts, though this seems unlikely. All I can suggest is
1. Uninstall any fonts that were successfully imported. 2. Move any Windows fonts that were installed later into a temporary directory. Repeat font import. 3. Try any of the moved fonts that you really want, one at a time. 4. Move Windows fonts back. A tedious alternative is to convert Windows fonts to type 2 fonts.
