Not reproduced on Windows XP (32-bit), Inkscape 0.91.
Different issue with lp:inkscape/0.92.x, rev. 15207. Inkscape now crashes when selecting the font in the text toolbar's font selector or in the text dialog (when applying the font change).
Short debug trace (well, yes, on Windows...):
----
(gdb) bt
#0 0x6598b24b in FT_Glyph_Get_CBox () from d:\dev\Inkscape\0.92.x\inkscape\freetype6.dll
#1 0x0071e657 in font_instance::FindFontMetrics() ()
#2 0x00000000 in ?? ()
----
So there's something wrong in the font that Inkscape doesn't handle correctly.
