  Yeah, as  a general  rule, you should  do a `killev'  before running
Evolution  again after  a  crash.  (Beware  that  `killev' requires  a
Linux-like version of  `killall' -- it won't quite  work right e.g. on
Solaris, and in that case you have to kill the processes by hand.)

  So, after  selecting the custom font, `killev'ing,  and then running
`evolution' again, do you still see the start-up crash?

  There is only one evolution-mail  process, but it has three threads.
The threads get  separate PIDs, so that's why you see  them as if they
were three "processes".
