+The problem here is that probably your fontconfig installation is not
+set up correctly, and it doesn't find the default fonts like Serif.
+Unfortunately, libgdiplus doesn't handle this gracefully and crashes
+in GdipCreateFontFamilyFromName because (*fontFamily)->pattern
+is NULL.
+
+The solution is to add the directories holding the fonts to 
+/etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
+
+After doing this, I was able to run a simple winforms app.
