A pre-release of the upcoming Inkscape 0.47 is now available in Ubuntu
Karmic for testing. Because *so* much stuff has changed compared with
the version you reported your bug against, would you mind re-testing
this new version and see if this bug is now resolved?

Karmic Alpha CD ISO images are available at:

  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/

If you're not testing Karmic yet, there are .debs of this new Inkscape
for Jaunty, Hardy, and Intrepid here:

  https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.testers/+archive/ppa

You might find further bugs when testing this alpha release. If that is
the case, please file a NEW bug report here:

   https://edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+filebug

Thanks ahead of time for your testing efforts, and enjoy the new Inkscape!

I can confirm this behaviour in karmic beta (inkscape 0.47~pre1-0ubuntu2) Those fonts all appear to be in the ttf-aenigma package. I cannot select any of the fonts you mentioned. The only difference is that my font selector does not freeze.

Changed in inkscape (Ubuntu):
status: Incomplete → Confirmed
summary: - Font Selector crashes after selecting a "3D" font
+ Inkscape does not allow certain fonts to be selected
