Another user experienced a similar problem: I ran guake and it crashed (I am not sure if immediately or after pressing its hotkey (F12)). Before running guake I set preferences (I think I only disabled displaying of tray icon and touched nothing else). reporter: libreport-2.3.0 backtrace_rating: 4 cmdline: python2 /usr/bin/guake crash_function: _vte_draw_set_text_font executable: /usr/bin/python2.7 kernel: 3.17.2-300.fc21.x86_64 package: guake-0.5.0-3.fc21 reason: python2.7 killed by SIGFPE runlevel: N 5 type: CCpp uid: 1000

I encountered the same porblem on my Fedroa 21 machine. I was able to fix the problem by running Guake Prefernces and disabling "Use the system fixed font" under Appearance. Greetings Null

Thank you very much! The problem is solved by change of settings of a system font - established another.
Same here, issue fixed by using another font (monospace)
Thank you very much!!, Same problem here after installing guake and get solved by disabling "Use the system fixed font" ("Usar tamaño de letra del sistema" in my system as I use spanish version of Fedora 21).
I have the same problem, and the workaround mentioned above works for me too!
