it doesn't depend on the number of fonts, even if with more fonts it slows
down a lot

after 5 minutes the program exits with this error:

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 42137 error_code 11 request_code 130 (MIT-SHM)
minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

selector.
yes, but it takes about 30 seconds to complete

I can't close the combobox because the desktop appears frozen

works: for now use this solution

you manage
