My X hanged when I select the font
-*-*-*-*-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
in xfontsel with nvidia drivers (with nv driver,
xfontsel showed some garbage but X didn't hang).
This font is from xfonts-cronyx-misc package.
It seems it is broken. Look at Debian bug #170413.
After upgrading xfonts-cronyx-misc to version 2.3.8-4,
everything work fine.
