KiCad 6.99: KiCad crashes when changing fonts (eeschema, pcbnew)

Description

When changing fonts (eeschema->preferences or pcbnew item properties), KiCad crashes at

devenv_oHPcWUgr4Q

for some fonts. The majority is fine, however. Failing examples are 18thcentury, Alfredo, AlmonteSnow, Balthasar, to name a few. Fonts that are not ok for KiCad for some reason should be rejected IMHO and not crash KiCad.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open KiCad.
  2. In eeschema->preferences change the font type or in pcbnew change font type in a text property
  3. See KiCad die
