Comment 1 jacob berkman 2002-06-11 16:01:19 UTC 
this is a font installation issue.

louie, have you run into instructions on how to set up your fonts for
pango?

owen, shouldn't pango not crash and print some message instead?
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-06-11 16:43:47 UTC 
If it is the no XftConfig thing, then it is a dup of bug 65109.

I'd be happy to take a patch that tried to be a bit
more explanative (I'm not even close to being able to
test that on any of my machines, so I can't do it.)

But there is no getting around the fact that Pango, or
the thing that called Pango is going to crash; the
only way of getting around that would be to ship a
fallback font with Pango.

(not completely sure it's a duplicate, but I think it is.)
