>From time to time I get this error in my xemacs running on Ubuntu 20.04 at work.
I use a lot of large core fonts, and I can imagine that there may be some anciently-sized limit on the amount of memory the server uses for core fonts. Or possibly there is some problem with one of the fonts. However, it's hard to reproduce on demand - it may require some spammy message loading an unusual charset or something - and X protocol errors are not informative. Is there anything I can to do find out what's wrong that's easier than running in XSync mode and tracing X events (perhaps for days at a time!)? If anybody has experience in this sort of problem, I'd be grateful for advice - I can't find any via Google!
