The simple-dup-finder doesn't list any duplicates, however, the description and stack trace look somewhat like the commonly reported bug 89460. Reporter: Can you try what Lars suggests and report on whether it helps? Here's what Lars has said about 89460: Crashes when adding any object using text. This is due to lack of local fonts (remote X server). Installing some basic local fonts helps (gsfonts-x11 for Debian, most likely urw-fonts for RedHat). Setting version->0.90, marking severity->critical, adding myself to the cc list, and marking as new.
This is because of missing fonts. If you install the fonts packaged for Ghostscript (gsfonts-x11 package for Debian, probably urw-fonts for RedHat), it should go away. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 89640 ***
