Bug#542434: #542434 error message should say why cannot load font



The message you're referring to is from xterm after it gets a failure
from XLoadQueryFont().  That function doesn't tell why it failed to
load the font (other than the comment in the manpage which says it
fails if the font does not exist).

But you're saying that xlsfonts finds the font.

(it might be useful to have in the fontWarnings logic something that
would show when xterm is deriving fontnames, and why, but I'm not seeing
_that_ in this report).
