I'm trying to use the following in my .emacs file:

	(font "ncenr14" (epoch::minibuf-screen))

and epoch is crashing with the following message:

	Fatal error (6).IOT trap (core dumped)

It appears to have problems only with fonts that would require
a larger minibuf screen.  Small fonts work fine.  If I execute
the same command after startup, all is fine. 

Any ideas?
