Tuxmath crashes immediately after startup

This message was originally posted in the Applications forum, but I was advised to place it here instead.

When I am trying to start Tuxmath, it only show the initial screen for a second or two, and shuts down.

From the console I get this error message:


tom@linux-8ec5:~> tuxmath
(process:9634): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
Minnesegmentsfeil
tom@linux-8ec5:~>

(«Minnesegmentsfeil» is Norwegian for memory segment error.)

I must admit that the error message doesn’t tell me much, so I hope someone is able to clarify it.

There is also another recent posting in the German forum regarding this error.
