I updated fontconfig to 2.4.2 recently because the port was  
unmaintained. I did not experience those same problems when updating  
my installation, and I don't know what it means.

What version of Mac OS X are you on? Are you up to date with all  
system updates? If not, install all updates. (Select Software Update  
from the Apple menu.)

What version of Xcode is installed? If it's not the latest, 2.4.1,  
then install 2.4.1. (Get it from http://developer.apple.com/ )

What version of gcc is selected? (Type "gcc --version") If you're on  
10.4.x, is it gcc 4.0.1? If not, select it. (Type "sudo gcc_select 4")
