Now, that I still got this exception I tried to track it down using gdb: I've come to cFont::GetFontFilename where FcFontSort returns "null".

i had the same, but on my system i simply had no fonts installed at all.

I simple check (if fontset != null) fixed the segfault:

 FcFontSet *fontset = FcFontSort(NULL, pat, FcFalse, NULL, NULL);

if (fontset != NULL) { // ... }

an "else" would be nice here so the user gets at least some hint what's the problem:

} else { esyslog(ERROR: no usable fonts found.); }
