did you really check every font ? If so, how ? Is there a slight possibility that there are old fonts installed ? There are so many possibilities, but a damaged font is always a very good candidate for bad surprises. And if the crash report says, the font is causing the crash, well, I guess Apple knows what and why they are outputting that to the report. Developers only interpret, what the report says. The tools do work well, but they sometimes can fail in the worst case. In this case it's a good idea to have a backup. But there's no need to spit around.
