gnome-font-viewer Segfault

[Thomas Beckett]

trying to open a font via default action (double clicking on it) or selecting
open in font viewer has no effect whatsoever.
Running gnome-font-manager <fontname.ttf> from terminal as either user or sudo
fails with segfault.

Daniel, any idea if that could be a Xft issue ?
