Have you verified that it is wxagg specific? Eg, what do happens with
the following backends: WX, Agg, PS?

Nadia recently reported a crash in the font module in OS X when
loading Vera.ttf, but hers was only in ipython. Weird. What version
of freetype are you using? She was using 2.1.9 think.
It would really help if we could nail this down, but I haven't been
able to replicate it on my end yet. If you could edit src/ft2font.cpp
and fint the Ft2Font::set_text function. Add a lot of lines thoughout
that function like
_VERBOSE("FT2Font::set_text 1");
//some code here
_VERBOSE("FT2Font::set_text 2");
//some code here
_VERBOSE("FT2Font::set_text 3");
and then switch VERBOSE=True in setup.py and reinstall. I sometimes
go through a couple of iterations ("poorman's binary search") to find
the precise line that is crashing.
Note it is only a guess that the crash is in set_text, based on the
information I got from Nadia when we left off on this issue, but the
VERBOSE output will give more precise information in this regard.

It happens only with WXAgg.
_VERBOSE("FT2Font::set_text 1");
//some code here
_VERBOSE("FT2Font::set_text 2");
//some code here
_VERBOSE("FT2Font::set_text 3");
the error doesn't seem to be related to set_text:

FT2Font::set_text 1

I can only add that for me the crash appears only in ipython on OS X
with this particular font. It is in the set_text function and after
I added print statements it went away. From reading the mailing list
and when other people get crash, it seems that the only common thing is
the font - Vera.ttf.
Is there a way to tell matplotlib what font to use?
(after I removed the print statements (nothing else changed) matplotlib
doesn't load this font any more, so I can't reproduce the crash.)
If I can tell it to use Vera.ttf and reproduce it, this will help
keep my sanity.
