Ghostscript crashes on Japanese characters on Ubuntu 16.04

[Johannes Feulner]

I installed lilypond 2.18.2 on a freshly installed Ubuntu Desktop 16.04
64 Bit.

Ghostscript crashes when compiling the following input:

    \version "2.12.0"

    \markup { \column {
         "First line"
          "Japanese: 日本語のページを検索"
         "Last line"
       }
    }

See lilypond's debug output below.

The culprit seems to be the font
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc
Here the offending font can be downloaded:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vj7bxwyb38u2u6b/noto.zip?dl=0

After deleting the the noto font (rm -r
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/), everything works fine.

The font noto was not part of ubuntu Desktop 14.04 64 Bit, I've checked
that.

I have no idea, what might be wrong with this font, ghostscript or
lilypond. However, deleting the font is a workaround.

Best regards,

Johannes
