Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Is it doing it on a specific font or directory?

No, just opening it from (gnome) dash. Actually it crashed only once (at the very first time), last couple of opens were hassle-free.

For me it crashes whenever I open it by double-clicking its icon anywhere Gnome Shell. For some reason it runs more reliably if I start it from a terminal. (I've seen it segfault once that way too, but after running a while.)
