OK, so this is... odd.

uxterm fails on pmax running Xorg 1.10 (with local changes to build an
xwsfb server)

The issue can be reproduced by setting LC_CTYPE

$ env LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm
X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  53
  Current serial number in output stream: 54

other apps report errors, but fallback to default fonts

$ env LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xclock -digital
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

Will have to test a standard vax build (which should have the same xorg version)
