Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!
Yes,I am using Tahoma Font too.I have attached the strace output at :http://pastebin.ca/578994 below is the terminal trace: ***************************** prakash@jaguar:~$ strace -o gnome-about.txt /usr/bin/gnome-about umovestr: Input/output error (gnome-about:3543): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Tahoma Bold 0' ptrace: Operation not permitted. /home/prakash/3543: No such file or directory. No stack. *** the strace output is attached at http://pastebin.ca/578994 thanks, Prakash Jose Kokkattu
