Crash on loading NetSurf

Message from NetSurf: "The Unicode font library could not be
initialised. Please report this to the developers."

I don't believe this is a bug - it's the aftermath of a crash.

This ARMini (RO 5.22) had been out of use for a period due to a house
move. I had been using release 4335, which seemed stable. I
downloaded release 4528 as the then most recent. This ran but wasn't
displaying some pages correctly. I think the next day I had a crash
while downloading email with NetFetch. This caused disc problems.
After using DiscKnight and repairing Messenger I then tried loading
NetSurf. I got the above error message. I deleted r4528 and reverted
to r4335. The error message still occurs on attempting to load
NetSurf. I double checked the modules in System to make sure they
were the ones that came with r4335.

My best guess is that a Unicode file has been corrupted. How do I
check? Where do I find an up to date version of Unicode to install?

Regards
