Jonathan, just accidentally I found out which font causes the
segmentation fault when not finding the font name for any font in my
font directories (http://www.orthodoxia.gr/media/athena.zip).

Don't forget that the segmentation fault happened after I removed some
Type1 fonts when xetex was running. Because of that, it might be a bug
in fontconfig.

Just in case it helps, Pango 1.14.x seems to have problems with this
font (it makes Firefox crash when browsing a page that loads the font
[bug already reported]).

I hope it helps. Thanks for your excellent work,


Pablo
