I was having similar issues, and after removing and reinstalling nearly everything, I decided to build freetype myself. While doing this, I got an error about not finding fontconfig dev files. Anyway, after some digging, I found that I had some old fontconfig libraries sitting in /usr/X11R6/lib, which were much earlier than the ones in /usr/lib. My guess is that the libs were either conflicting, or the old ones were chosen since they were the first found. Once I removed all the fontconfig files I found in /usr/X11R6/lib (and making sure I didn't need them), everything worked just fine. I have no idea why there were fontconfig libs in there maybe from an old install that didn't clean up after itself, or maybe from some part of the unstable xfree, since I'm using the experimental 4.3.1 packages. Perhaps in the future the fontconfig package can check for orphans in /usr/X11R6/lib. -Chris
