I thought about the backtrace, and wondered if some weird font was causing issues. So I removed some of the more exotic ttf fonts, and the problem went away. Notice how the font system complained until I removed the last two fonts, which makes me think this is a pango bug relating to not having a CIDSupplement for a particular font.
I'm going to leave the bug open, since pango shouldn't crash no matter what font I have installed, but it should probably be reclassified. xol...@xocotl:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get remove ttf-devanagari-fonts ttf-kacst ttf-lao ttf-punjabi-fonts ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho ttf-sil-andika ttf-sil-doulos ttf-unfonts-core ttf-wqy-zenhei Reading package lists...
