Apparently a unique stack trace. Setting version->2.0.x, marking priority->high & severity->critical (it's a crasher), adding GNOMEVER2.0 and bugsquad keywords and marking as new.
I am experiencing a similar crash. Output from .xsession-errors: ** (gnome-terminal:1509): WARNING **: Failed to load Xft font pattern ".fulldir-9:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=12:antialias=True:hintstyle=2:hinting=True:verticallayout=False:autohint=False:globaladvance=True:dpi=96:rgba=0:scale=1:lang=en-US", falling back to default font. ** (gnome-terminal:1509): WARNING **: Failed to load default Xft font.
It seems (re?)restoring preferred font selection through preferences: fonts fixed problem, though I do not know why it "forgot" preferred font to begin with.

Where is gnome-terminal pulling it's font information from? I've deleted everything in the home directory AND changed all the system font settings. I am using gnome-terminal-2.2.0 from .xsession-errors ** (gnome-terminal:22058): WARNING **: Failed to load Xft font pattern "Sans 10.000000", falling back to default font. ** (gnome-terminal:22058): WARNING **: Failed to load default Xft font.

See exactly the same crash after running GNOME terminal 2.2.0 (Red Hat 8.1 beta build) then returning to GNOME terminal 2.0.1 (Red hat 8.0 build) on the same machine. I did not manually change settings between - i.e. any settings change was automatic.

Note that Michael Chan and Paul Jenner's problem (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84863) may not be related to pajone's problems, or the bugs marked as duplicates. Any sort of font system problem that causes a complete failure to load a font will cause a crash here. Reassigning to vte, though there's not all that much that can be done. Actually, it looks like vte might not segfault in this circumstance any more, though without symbols on the backtraces, it's hard to tell.
