Bug Description
When I change the font (like testing 4-5 fonts one after the other ), Inkscape freezes and starts to use something like 85% of my 4 Go of RAM (I've checked the memory usage with «top»). After a few seconds/minute, it can work again almost as usual but if I try again to change the font it will start again to use 85% of the memory.
Inkscape 0.46
Ubuntu 8.04.1, 64-bit

I've had the same problem with Gimp, so it seemed to be a problem with Gnome's font manager or something like that.
I've try to found which font caused the problem and when I kept the font attached to this comment (OldSlavicRegu.ttf) out of ~/.fonts, everything went fine.
The bug can always be reproduced when the font is in ~/.fonts, then with Inkscape or Gimp going through the font list, when I pass over «OldSlavic Regu» or even just before reaching this font, the software freezes and uses something like 85-95% of the memory.
