---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 xdvipdfmx (port texlive-bin) is tricked into believing it is not
 configured on a Mac. The reason is that it needs FreeType function
 FT_GetFilePath_From_Mac_ATS_Name, which is only provided with FreeType
 2.4.6 if configured with --with-old-mac-fonts.

 As a result, xdvipdfmx cannot work with MacOS-specific font files,
 including both old (resource-based) fonts and new (data-fork based) fonts,
 such as /System/Library/*.dfont (e.g. Helvetica and Helvetica Neue in
 10.6.8).

 FreeType is no longer compiled with --with-old-mac-fonts since r42513
 because of bug #15909.

 If the conflict with gd2 is still present, we could make this a variant of
 freetype. If it is not, I believe we should provide freetype with-old-mac-
 fonts by default as we used to.

 Attached are conservative diffs with a variant for freetype and texlive-
 bin.
