Description sylvain_pasche 2002-10-15 12:19:23 UTC 
On my system (X version 4.2.1) XftFontMatch apparently does not manage to
do the match and returns NULL.
It makes the font capplet segfault.
I'm don't know anything about xft, and why it fails on my system (don't
know if it is my fault, if you have some infos why is does not work, they
are welcome).
However, the small patch attached prevents the segfault (if it is the right
s fix is another question :).

Applied.
