Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install `gnome-font-viewer`
2. Download TTF font
3a. Try to install this Symbol font (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IamDH4/ttf-wps-fonts/master/symbol.ttf)

$ gnome-font-viewer symbol.ttf

3b. Try to open webdings.ttf font from `ttf-mscorefonts-installer` package (see bug 1647906 for details).

$ gnome-font-viewer /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/webdings.ttf

Expected results:
* GNOME Font Viewer opened window for font preview and installation

Actual results:
* GNOME Font Viewer crashed with the following output:

(gnome-font-viewer:14847): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_find_base_dir: assertion 'text != NULL || length == 0' failed
Violación de segmento (`core' generado)

Note: I attached the font file.
