I had the same problem when installing fonts from .ttf files. Either the system froze completely and I had to reboot manually or just the font viewer window froze, in that case I could right click it in the dock and close it.
However, I found that a bit of patience with the program helps to prevent the freezing. When I wait about 10 seconds after I opened the font in the viewer and before I click install and do the same after it said "installed" and before I close the font viewer, no crash occured.

Title:
  gnome-font-viewer freezes up itself or the X session

Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  When I open gnome-font-viewer by clicking on font file (tried on TTF
  and PFB) it sometimes locks up. Then nothing can be done within the
  window, but the rest of X session works. However sometimes the whole X
  session freezes, only mouse cursor moves. It can be worked around by
  switching to tty1 and killall'ing gnome-font-viewer.
