This happens not only with Korean fonts!
I'm using Serene raster font from xfonts-bolkhov package for GUI interface. After upgrade to libcairo2 1.4.10-1ubuntu4.1 no gtk-based program could be started - all gave "Floating point exception". After logging out and logging back in, the Gnome session was totally unusable. Rolling back to libcairo2 1.4.10-1ubuntu4 solved the problem.

There is a number of reports in Ubuntu forum about firefox giving off "Floating point exception" at startup, and how disabling certain plugins makes it work. So it seems that it is not limited to fonts.
