I had the same problem myself for the longest time, and couldn't figure out 
why until a while ago. It was some time between installing the fonts (which I 
did as I was still very much learning about Linux) and the problem first 
appearing, as it's generally only GTK applications crashing because of this, 
so I didn't connect the two, which is why it took me so long to figure out. 
While it's certainly user error to some extent, it's not exactly graceful 
behaviour on the applications' (or more likely, the libraries') behalf 
either.
