In InitVariables(), I'd have ...

    /* setup default fonts; overridden by defaults from system.twmrc */
#define DEFAULT_NICE_FONT "variable"
#define DEFAULT_FAST_FONT "fixed"
#ifndef TWM_USE_XFT
    Scr->TitleBarFont.fontset = NULL;
    Scr->MenuFont.fontset = NULL;
    Scr->IconFont.fontset = NULL;
    Scr->SizeFont.fontset = NULL;
    Scr->IconManagerFont.fontset = NULL;
    Scr->DefaultFont.fontset = NULL;
#endif /* TWM_USE_XFT */
    Scr->TitleBarFont.font = NULL;
    Scr->TitleBarFont.name = DEFAULT_NICE_FONT;
    Scr->MenuFont.font = NULL;
    Scr->MenuFont.name = DEFAULT_NICE_FONT;
    Scr->IconFont.font = NULL;
    Scr->IconFont.name = DEFAULT_NICE_FONT;
    Scr->SizeFont.font = NULL;
    Scr->SizeFont.name = DEFAULT_FAST_FONT;
    Scr->IconManagerFont.font = NULL;
    Scr->IconManagerFont.name = DEFAULT_NICE_FONT;
    Scr->DefaultFont.font = NULL;
    Scr->DefaultFont.name = DEFAULT_FAST_FONT;

... and GetFont() would then look like ...

void
GetFont(font)
MyFont *font;
{
#ifdef TWM_USE_XFT

    char **fontlist;
    int listcount;

    if (font->font != NULL)
	XftFontClose(dpy, font->font);

    fontlist = XListFonts(dpy, font->name, 1, &listcount);
    if ((fontlist != NULL) && (listcount >= 1) &&
	(fontlist[0] != NULL) && (fontlist[0][0] != 0))
	font->font = XftFontOpenXlfd(dpy, Scr->screen, fontlist[0]);
    else
	font->font = XftFontOpenName (dpy, Scr->screen, font->name);
    if (fontlist != NULL)
	XFreeFontNames(fontlist);

    if (font->font == NULL) {
	char *deffontname = Scr->DefaultFont.name;

	if (deffontname == NULL)
	    deffontname = "fixed";

	fontlist = XListFonts(dpy, deffontname, 1, &listcount);
	if ((fontlist != NULL) && (listcount >= 1) &&
	    (fontlist[0] != NULL) && (fontlist[0][0] != 0))
	    font->font = XftFontOpenXlfd(dpy, Scr->screen, fontlist[0]);
	else
	    font->font = XftFontOpenName (dpy, Scr->screen, deffontname);
	if (fontlist != NULL)
	    XFreeFontNames(fontlist);

	if (font->font == NULL) {
	    fprintf (stderr, "%s:  unable to open fonts \"%s\" or \"%s\"\n",
		     ProgramName, font->name, deffontname);
	    exit(1);
	}
    }

    font->height = font->font->ascent + font->font->descent;
    font->y = font->font->ascent;
    font->ascent = font->font->ascent;
    font->descent = font->font->descent;

#else

    [...]

Marc.
