In some cases, one needs to clear out the font cache after removing the 
font. Perhaps OS X startup clears the font cache upon reboot.

When I had this problem a few months back, removing the offending 
font(s) and clearing the cache was enough to resolve the segmentation 
fault error.

Jonathan: is this in the FAQ?
