Xubuntu desktop crashes in call to cairo after setting fixed-width

Bug description:
Reproduce: In Xubuntu (xfce), go to Settings Manager -> Appearance ->
Fonts -> Default Font, select an installed fixed-width, bitmapped .pcf
font (e.g. ProFont). Desktop crashes; the new font does appear in the
apport dialogs, but attempting to log back into the session, xfdesktop
crashes with an assert in cairo, with gtk up the stacktrace:
cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion
`!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
To undo the change and be able to log in, I had to remove the GTK Font
property in xfce4's xsettings.xml config file. It would be a fair
limitation if certain bitmap fonts failed over gracefully or were
disallowed for selection, however, allowing an the interface to select
the font without error, and then crashing and hanging the session on
every login, leaving the config in a bad state should be fixed.
