Ordinarily having interfaces active on startup is not an issue.  You
get error messages from Xastir and it comes up anyway.  This may not
be totally true with USB interfaces:  I've seem to remember hearing
of some lockups caused by USB interfaces.

As far as the fonts, there may be additional checks that can be done
in the software.  That code is very new and will undoubtedly be
improved over time.  It tries its best to recover from font problems
but there may be more that can be done.
