That's not a galeon error, but a gnome error:

#define DEFAULT_FONT_NAME 
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*,"        \
                          "-*-*-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*"

get_default_font (void)
{
        if (!default_font) {
                /* FIXME: this is never unref-ed */
                default_font = gdk_fontset_load (DEFAULT_FONT_NAME);
                g_assert (default_font != NULL);
        }

        return gdk_font_ref (default_font);
}

I don't know how gdk_fontset_load works, but you must not have any
fonts in defined in DEFAULT_FONT_NAME.  Try xfontsel and see what you
can come up with.
