Thank you for providing this list. It shows that you only link against

Actually this list looks correct to me. This again points at your
libfreetype as being responsible for this problem.
The FTC code is, as David wrote used for font caching. In the cairo
backend we aren't using this directly, but you are compiling the art
bachend and there the interaction with the fonts happens on this level
(See font.m).

Your "strings" test seems to suggest that your version of libfreetype
was compiled without the FTC part, but I really cannot believe this. Is
there anybody out there on NetBSD 5.0.2 to verify this?

Well, it is indeed true that libfreetype on NetBSD does not export the FTC functions (for whatever reason, maybe just an oversight). Anyway, there are libfreetype packages in pkgsrc, which correctly export these functions. So cairo should work with these.

Nick, try
 pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0/All/freetype2-2.4.2.tgz
to install the most recent freetype2 package and then configure GNUstep-back again with cairo (i.e., the default).
