Every iWork '09 app crashes upon template selection

Question

Installed it last night, and Numbers and Pages were both hanging, then crashing on choosing the blank template. When I choose the Grocery template and Checklist template in Pages and Numbers respectively, they both displayed the template and then immediately crashed as soon as I clicked the mouse to try and interact with them.
I can choose any template in Keynote, it just crashes when I try to double-click a title to edit it, or do anything really.
As the apps start to beachball an occurence of ATSServer appears in Activity Monitor, taking up about 50% CPU - I don't know if this is relevant.
I have already re-downloaded the .dmg to check if it was corrupted. Re-installed twice with it, no luck. Deleted all instances of "iwork" in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and the receipt in /Library/Receipts and re-installed - again no change. Repaired permissions out of desperation - no difference.
Here are a couple of errors for each app:
Pages
Clicked the blank template - hang and then crash: http://pastebin.com/f57b85f57
Clicked the Grocery template, it loads, then clicking the document caused a crash: http://pastebin.com/f1f32ab0d
Numbers
Clicked the blank template resulting in a hang and crash: http://pastebin.com/f6b932e2
Clicked the Checklist template, it loads, then clicking the document caused a crash: http://pastebin.com/f1410a857
Keynote
Choose Gradient template, 1280x720, clicked Chart button (the graph appeared and I tried to move it), then it crashed: http://pastebin.com/f288c95f2
Choose blank template, 1024x768, double-clicked the title resulting in a crash: http://pastebin.com/f22b27654
Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm completely and utterly stuck.

I think eyeless is on the right track as far as a font or fonts being part of the issue. Another thing to try is to use Font Book to see if any fonts are corrupt/bad, or if there are duplicate fonts. Font Book is in the Applications folder, and here are the steps to try:
1. Once Font Book is launched, make sure you have "All Fonts" selected in the Collection column.
2. Then click on a font name in the Font column, and Select All from the Edit menu.
3. Choose "Validate Fonts" from the File menu.
- This tracks down fonts that may be corrupt.
4. Once that is done, choose "Resolve Duplicates" from the Edit menu.
- This lets you know if you have more than one copy of a font.
Hopefully, once those two things are done you won't see the crash. I know corrupt fonts have caused me no end of grief.
