So, the X server is crashing not xfs?

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.
