FWIW, XEmacs has some hard-to-pin-down memory leaks, too, one or more
of which seems to be related to Xft/fontconfig.
These packages are coded in the classic X11 style, meaning that the
burden is entirely on the client code to clean things up. There *is*
refcounting and things like that, but for internal use of the Xft
code.
I have no idea what the memory use characteristics of underlying
rendering engines such as FreeType might be, so this has been really
hard to track down.
