Public bug reported: Reproduce: In Xubuntu (xfce), go to Settings Manager -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Default Font, select an installed fixed-width, bitmapped .pcf font (e.g. ProFont). Desktop crashes; the new font does appear in the apport dialogs, but attempting to log back into the session, xfdesktop crashes with an assert in cairo, with gtk up the stacktrace:
cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed. uname: 3.11.0-18-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 18 21:11:14 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 Codename: saucy Similar report seen in archlinux/xfce4: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169433 To undo the change I had to remove the GTK Font property in xfce4's xsettings.xml config file.
