Well, currently, I cannot reproduce the font match number (as I recently
deinstalled xfs - it seems that most fonts were served twice, by xfs and
the X server itself). Now, "xlsfonts | wc -l" tell me I have 15285
fonts, while xfontsel has 20889 matches, which still seems to be a lot.
It still crashes when selecting monospaced. So this is independent from
the possible 32767 issue.
HTH,
Markus
