Hi Eli. It looks like Dmitry is busy. What do you think about merging
the patch now before we both forget what this is all about? When Dmitry
gets time to comment, we can revisit. The concern wasn't that the patch
was "wrong", but rather that it maybe is a workaround for a deeper issue
instead of a fix for the issue itself.

I'm attaching the latest version of the patch. It takes Dmitry's
suggestion for avoiding an extra local variable, and adds some comments

Subject: [PATCH] compact_font_cache_entry() now properly checks for marked
 fonts

* src/alloc.c (compact_font_cache_entry): When checking for marked
fonts we were looking at a font entity object.  However the entity
could contain a list of font objects that need to be checked, which we
now do.  This resolves a memory leak
Fixes: bug#21556
