Note: the problem does not occur sometimes starting from terminal - works about 1 of 10 also after cleaning cache/thumbnails as suggested by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-font-viewer/-/issues/29

Thanks for your interest in helping to resolve this issue. In order to get to the bottom of this we need to figure out where the program is hanging. If you can follow the steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace#Already_running_programs and attach the generated text file to this bug it would be of great help.
