 As noted at

 == http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2007-11/msg00000.html ==

 There is a problem in Leopard (possibly on intel Macs) where calling
 CoreFoundation with a fork() causes a crash.  Unforuntately, if freetype
 attempts to access native font suitcases, it will access a carbon library
 that triggers the crash.

 Would it be possible to request a freetype variant that would allow
 disabling of the carbon library access.  This can be done by adding

 --with-quickdraw-toolbox=no --with-quickdraw-carbon=no

 to the configure line.  I don't know what other ports this might affect,
 but none of them can be working on Leopard at this moment.
