Yes, this is somewhat more serious than I suspected before.  When the frame is 
gone,
'struct frame' memory may be reused for other object and so we can't rely on 
anything
under 'font->frame' pointer.  This approach probably requires a kind of 
reference
counting system, which will trigger even more potentially dangerous changes.
With all my regrets, I'm reverting 2013-12-12 font-related change - although I 
believe
in that this is Right Thing (TM) in general, this code needs more work :-(.
