Ah. Confusion reigns. I was reported Frank's bug as he noted in
the forums which also had a font change in. I was suspecting the lockup
he saw was the same issue.

If there are .xar files with fonts in that don't load, we need
a copy of them. Frank - could you file a separate bug please
  at http://bugzilla.xara.com,
and do what Martin asks re gdb. A fuller explanation is below:
$ gdb /path/to/xaralx
(in gdb)
  run
(do your stuff, wait till it hangs, switch back to gdb window)
  [hit Control-C]
  bt
  [select text with cursor]
  [right click, copy]
  paste result into bugzilla.

I note that Luke just fixed something re loading UTF-16 from
Xar files. I wonder if font-names or text were so encoded.
