At the end of fontset_font (fontset.c:699), there is the following code:

  /* Remeber that we have no font for C.  */
  FONTSET_SET (fontset, make_number (c), Qt);

  return Qnil;

However, there are several other places in that function that return
with a Qnil, without doing this FONTSET_SET.  Do matters improve if we
do the same FONTSET_SET call before returning?

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

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:

If fonts are not installed for some characters, then Emacs keeps trying 
to find fonts for them every time those characters are redisplayed. The 
following excerpt from font-log is with the xft font backend on 
GNU/Linux where the search is quick, thus not noticeable, but on Windows 
the search for fonts is expensive, so redisplay takes a couple of 
seconds. I have cut the end off, as the full font-log is long, but you 
can see from the first two font-for entries that Emacs is trying twice 
for the same character (and it tries again many times further down the log).

To reproduce: C-h h
On my system, there are boxes displayed for Sinhala, Tibetan, Khmer and 
Burmese.
Scroll down so that the first set of boxes disappears just off the top 
of the window.
M-: (setq font-log nil)
Scroll back up
M-x font-show-log

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
/home/jasonr/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
