The code works just fine here.  So it should be some bad interation between
your font and FreeType.  You can figure out which font it is by checking which
files it maps, for example by adding a sleep at the end of the code and then
running pmap in another terminal.  When you figure out which font it is, file
a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org against Pango.  If I can reproduce with the font,
I'll track the bug down and send it to FreeType.
