Yeah.

Could you try to debug this by stepping through face_for_char when it is
called via Finternal_char_font?  You should be able to do this by doing

b Finternal_char_font
r
[Do the recipe]
b face_for_char
c

Then, when the debugger hits the face_for_char breakpoint, step through
that function.  When the variables rfont_def and font_object get
assigned values, use pp to view their contents and see if they are
valid.

Thanks.
