There is a similar crash and an example on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/158065
Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-01-11 22:56:34 UTC 
However, I think this issue might be in Cairo font handling...
Comment 3 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-07-20 19:55:36 UTC 
CCing Behdad, perhaps he could help.
Comment 4 Emmanuel Fleury 2009-11-10 10:18:12 UTC 
Did someone hit this issue again since 2008 ?
Comment 5 Emmanuel Fleury 2009-11-12 13:48:24 UTC 
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.

Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
