Since 0.10.5, Edit->Preferences always causes crash and leaves error message in console (using 0.10.6):

(ethereal.exe:1428): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_obje
ct_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

** (ethereal.exe:1428): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine
_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed

and below error message in pop-up window:

** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)
aborting...

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Ethereal\ethereal.exe
abnormal program termination

I can capture, do Statistics, and anything else except the Edit->Preferences

This issue happens on my PC run Windows 2000 with IE 6.0, but not happen on another PC with IE5.0
