Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I think MacOS Emacs isn't very resilient to customizations for other platforms that should be ignored. For example, my default-frame-alist is ((menu-bar-lines . 1) (font-backend . "xft") (font . "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10.5") (tool-bar-lines . 0)) But `M-x new-frame' causes emacs to report "no font backend available" without opening a new window. BTW, reporting steps to reproduce bugs with emacs -Q seems to be counterproductive on MacOS, because if I invoke the underlying executable instead of the .app bundle, several things don't work properly... and AFAIK there's no way to pass -Q to the .app bundle. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
