What do "all charactes" and "most characters" exactly mean?
Do they include ASCII characters, or only Chinese
characters?

I can't reproduce such a bug.  Did you start Emacs with
"--enable-font-backend"?  Do you see the same bug with Emacs

In the latest code, line 618 is this.
 retry:
and that should should not cause crash.

Please update and rebuild your emacs, and show me the result
of:
(gdb) bt full
