I've poked around the code and don't see anything obvious. Some comments:

1. 'sans-serif' is a generic CSS font value. Pango will substitute an appropriate font which will be system dependent.

2. The font back-end is different on Windows from Linux/MacOS so it is not surprising that this only causes crashes on Windows.

3. The Cairo "Assertion Failed" messages are unfortunately almost useless in debugging this problem.

4. It would be really helpful to have a backtrace. If someone can reproduce the crash, please run Inkscape under gdb.

5. What font is actually being used under Windows with 'sans-serif'? Does it have Italic and Bold variants?
