This didn't change the behaviour.  I removed the entry for the X fonts
(leaving Xft only) and got the following messages:

frame-notice-user-settings: Font `-misc-dejavu sans
mono-medium-r-normal--13-125-75-75-m-80-iso8859-1' is not defined Error
while displaying tooltip: (error Font not available #<font-spec nil
misc dejavu sans mono  iso8859-1 nil nil normal 13 0 100 0 nil>)

It seems that Xft fonts cannot even be loaded or recognized?
Please see also my other message (just sent) which has information from
the configure script attached.
