  xnestRealizeFont() in xnest/Font.c is substituted for 
(*pScr->RealizeFont)().  It seems that xnestRealizeFont() 
function depends on installed fonts of parent X server.

  Although I add new font path on Xnest,

  xset +fp $HOME/fonts/

the fonts in $HOME/fonts/ cannot be displayed, and I got
the BadAlloc error.  So I add the font path on parent X server,
the Xnest can display the fonts in $HOME/fonts/.

  By the way, the Xnest uses statically linked FreeType backend.
One of them depends on parent X server and the other does not...
I think that this may be strange implementation.

  This error may be caused by another problem.
