 I'm providing pre-build packages of GIMP on "GIMP on OS X", using MacPorts
 as a basis. Many users have encontered problems with asian fonts (like
 traditional chinese) not displaying in menu entries. For more details
 please see these threads

 I've tracked this issue down to cairo. The Portfile enables the various
 quartz configure options if cairo is build with x11 support. This will
 make pango use the ATSUI font backend and this will lead to asian fonts
 not being diplayed at all. As far as I know it's not necessary to use the
 quartz backends in cairo / ATSUI module in pango if both are build with
 X11 support.

 After disabling the quartz configure options (--enable-quartz --enable-
 quartz-font --enable-quartz-image) in platfom macosx{} and rebuilding
 cairo, pango, gtk and GIMP, everything worked as expected and the chinese
 fonts showed up.

 This bug can be reproduced by launching some gtk application from
 Terminal.app and setting an asian localization first, e.g.


 {{{
 export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
 /path/to/your/gtk-x11-application-startup
 }}}

 A sample Portfile is attached.
