Bug Description
Ubuntu 18.04 on Dell XPS 15 9570.
gnome-tweak-tool 3.28.1-1
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open gnome-tweaks (via launcher or command line)
2) Switch to "fonts" page
3) Click the font switcher for "Interface" fonts (Others may also do this but I can't test without losing this report.)
Expected:
Font chooser opens.
Actual:
System becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. Sometimes the chooser partially renders at the end of this time. Whether it does or not, the session immediately ends and bounces me back to the login screen.
This worked on my system at one point; I don't think I changed anything since then besides installing various other packages and possibly `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade`.

Tested the other font categories, and they crash as well.
