Bug Description
Hi,
I have been using Inkscape 4.8.2 and the similar bug is happening. I am using a mac OSX 10.8.5 and xcode 11 XQuartz 2.7.5 (xorg-server 1.14.4).
Steps:
1. Open Inkscape
2. Open the SVG Font Editor (Text>SVG Font Editor).
3. Using font already set up (also happens with a new font)
4. Select previous font (or new font)
5. In the Kerning tab, move the Kerning value slider - able to align two fonts together
6. Once back into Glyphs tab type in letters which have just been paired.
7. Crash.
An error message box appears - however I cannot see any words, application freezes.
Also what I would like to do is create a font so the kerning will stay together. Is this what should happen? Or are the kerning/pairing settings in the SVG editor just applicable to inkscape?

I've managed to reproduce that kind of issue (only once) on Windows XP with 0.48.5, by playing with the slider and the preview letters, and then selecting the Glyphs tab. Unfortunately I was not running Inkscape in GDB and thus can't give a trace of what went wrong.
