Also happens on i386 architecture. In my case I just selected 11pt instead of 12pt font size and the application crashed.

Hi,

A new xfce4-terminal branch is being developed upstream, and a pre-release (0.2.90) is available. Packages are available for Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) in my ppa:
* https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit/+archive/ppa/+files/xfce4-terminal_0.2.90-1ubuntu1~test1_i386.deb (for i386)
* https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit/+archive/ppa/+files/xfce4-terminal_0.2.90-1ubuntu1~test1_amd64.deb (for amd64)

Could you test them to check if your issue is still present?
Thanks.
