Bug Description

I was playing with different fonts for a title.
I was scrolling through the fonts while mousing over the font pulldown. I find this a nice way to try different fonts quickly.
Then I came to a certain font and when I pass it Inkscape crashes.
I took a screencast of the steps I take and it is a cosistent reproduction of the crash.
Take a look at:

I am using win7
Latest Java (just updated today)
Inkscape v 0.48

Could you please give some details on the font that triggers the crash? (Name, and URL if freely available for download).
It's a bit difficult to read it in the screencast ;).

I am having a similar problem - I have scrolled through the list several times, but I can't pinpoint it to a particular font. It seems like I get a certain amount of scrolling per program instance, and then it crashes.

Reproduced on Windows XP, Inkscape trunk revision 13828, after scrolling the fonts in the Text and font dialog and in the text tool's control bar many times (the crash occurred when opening the list in the control bar).
Unfortunately the console didn't return anything useful and I was not running Inkscape in GDB.
