It turns out the problem is a combination of the font and IDLE preview content. With the phaistos font installed, inserting the content of the "Devanagari, Tamil" or "East Asian" sections into a Tk text widget causes it to freeze. For example, the following will fail:

pack [text .t]
.t insert end \u0966

The reason for this still confuses me, since Tk would never default (I believe) to trying to use phaistos font (and therefore it's installation should not affect this). I will report it to the Tk team.
