This hypothesis may be true, but it is difficult to test.

The problem persisted after I put "(setq scalable-fonts-allowed t)" at the
top of my .emacs file, presumably because emacs crashes and burns before it
even reads the initialization file.

Is there another way of testing the above hypothesis, short of rebuilding
emacs with the above setq statement in lisp/site-init.el?
