Bug Description

Ubuntu 16.04 current as of 20 February 2016.
gnome-font-viewer: Installed: 3.16.2-1build1
gucharmap: Installed: 1:3.18.2-1ubuntu1

Opening any version of marlett.ttf (the Windows interface font) will cause gnome-font-viewer to crash.
Selecting Marlett in gnome-character-map does not change the font used in the grid.

appears several times in dmesg:
[128342.436711] gnome-font-view[30917]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f31f05297aa sp 00007ffc23f7d7d8 error 4 in libc-2.21.so[7f31f049e000+1c0000]
