It seems freetype is crashing on one of your fonts. Make sure you got
the latest freetype2 installed and consider to remove the offending
(most possibly broken) font from your system.

Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2003-09-08 11:05:04 UTC

Might be a duplicate of #121752. We will need more information here
like the versions of Pango, fontconfig and freetype2 that you are using.
