Description Bp 2016-03-26 17:35:04 UTC 
Ubuntu 16.04, gnome-font-viewer 3.16.2-1build1.

Opening any version of marlett.ttf (the Windows interface font) will cause gnome-font-viewer to crash.
Selecting Marlett in gnome-character-map does not change the font used in the grid.

Tested with:
marlett.ttf (Windows 95): 17412 bytes, 11 July 1995
marlett.ttf (Windows 7): 26672 bytes, 10 June 2009

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. When pasting a stack trace in this bug report, please reset the status of this bug report from NEEDINFO to its previous status. Thanks in advance!

I tried to reproduce this in 3.24 but I could not make gnome-font-viewer crash.
