That is described in

For Solaris, there is no /usr/share/fonts.  So, I made that a symlink to 
where all of my fonts are.  But, there are quite a large number in the 
actual directory that I linked to.  And, I think, that is why it starts 
consuming large amounts of memory.  However, xft xemacs was pretty 
unstable for me, so it could have been something else.  Lots of crashes.
