[SOLVED] gnome-terminal won't start

Well, first of all good day and thanks in advance.
gnome-terminal is not launching. I get:

ERROR:terminal-app.c:1433:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->system_font_desc != NULL)

This started with no particular trigger, and now i am using aterm, but i like better gnome-terminal, so any help would be appreciated.

Seems like a font issue, try this:

gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Default

Else you can try editing the settings using gconf-editor.
