But our XIM code calls XCreateFontSet, just like Xt code.
And browsing the Xt source, the "Cannot convert string to FontSet" message
seems to be generated when XCreateFontSet returns NULL, so maybe
we could track it down further by making an appropriate call to XFontSet and
seeing what it returns.  Presumably it will return NULL but with a non-zero
list of missing charsets.
