This error seems to be the result of fontset.cc calling
Glib::exception_handlers_invoke() which is conditionally compiled by
libglibmm-2.4 if GLIBMM_EXCEPTIONS_ENABLED is set
(see /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/exceptionhandler.h).

Sounds like libglibmm-2.4 I installed with apt-get from maemo repo
(libglibmm-2.4-1c2a) has been built with exceptions disabled (???).

hope this helps,
