I am also getting the same error/crash. I have sent out a request also and have not received any ideas back. I was previously running 0.10.4 and it worked without any problem. After updating to 0.10.7 it started. Also tried 0.10.8 and still have the same problem. Removing and reinstalling does not correct the issue. I also would like more information on how to correct.

Do you have any bitmapped fonts? Pango can not handle them. You might have to completely remove them. This is a real nuisance on Windows NT where most of the fonts are bitmapped.
