Oops.

No.  But, it seems Emacs failed to find a latin font
"-*-fixed-medium-r-*--16-*-iso8859-1" for fontset-16.  How
about this?

(gdb) br Fsignal
(gdb) set env EMACS_FONT_LOG=1
(gdb) run -Q

and when it stops at Fsignal, do this:

(gdb) pp Vfont_log

By the way, are you sure that you have the above font for
your font-backends?  If you specify only xft font-backend,
the above font must be available by fontconfig.
