I just ran into this bug on a third Windows 10 1709 64-bit system, only 
this time it was a little worse. Both xwin-xdg-menu.exe and xterm.exe 
would crash. An strace on xterm.exe showed the crash occurring after 
reading that same font, but it happened even when I reverted 
libharfbuzz0 to the 1.7.4-1 version. On this system, I also had to 
revert libfreetype6 from 2.8.1-1 to 2.6.5-1 to get xterm and 
xwin-xdg-menu to run reliably. Something in the font handling in these 
two libraries broke on a recent update.
