The default font, I believe, is just the first font when you list all matching fonts and sort them. The sorting algorithm used now is chosen to sort iso8859-1 first in typical cases, but makes no explicit reference to any encoding. I would expect, in any case, that if it was a problem with encoding handling, the crash would occur in xfs, not in the X server, and it wouldn't be dependent on the hardware.
