I got these messages:

Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type
FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct

And non-ASCII characters become either spaces or question marks.  I
verified that I can copy the correct characters, but they do not
appear.

Same messages, but the term appears and immediately disappears.
