Begin forward:
Done. Deleted freetype (all). Rebuilt pango-xft2 (all), libgnomeui2 (all), and gnome-print (all) and gnumeric. Still get exactly the same errors.

Got the same crap with my old install.
Rebuilt both gnome-print and pango to no avail.
Do you have any freetype or freetype2 packages installed? Type "fink list freetype" to find out.
If so, you have to remove them, then rebuild pango-xft2 (and -dev and -shlibs) and libgnomeui.

To avoid this, you could create an empty /sw/lib/X11/fonts/applettf/ directory and run the following commands from the command line:
cd /sw/lib/X11/fonts/applettf/
fondu /Library/Fonts/Verdana
yields error: Can't open temporary file for truetype output. do I need to specifiy Verdana Regular, Bold or etc. The verdana above is a suitcase file.
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
This should give you back your Vardana font that seems to have been chosen as a default font. Why Verdana should be the default, I don't know.
Verdana is not even an Apple system font, it is a Microsoft font that exists in /Library/Fonts only because Microsoft Internet Explorer installed it there.
Therefore another idea would be - and this might bring you closer to the real origin of your problem - to try and find out where on your system it is stored that Verdana should be the default font for your gnome applications. Run something like
grep Verdana -r ~/.g* ~/Library/Preferences
yields:
/Users/stephenfisher/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/prefs.bak:user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Verdana");
/Users/stephenfisher/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/prefs.js:user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Verdana");
/Users/stephenfisher/.gconf/apps/galeon/Rendering/%gconf.xml:<stringvalue>Verdana</stringvalue>
Binary file /Users/stephenfisher/Library/Preferences/Backup/BackupSet-CD-R.cat matches
Binary file /Users/stephenfisher/Library/Preferences/Backup/RestoreCatalog-CD-R.cat matches
/Users/stephenfisher/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist: <string>Verdana</string>
/Users/stephenfisher/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist: <string>Verdana</string>
/Users/stephenfisher/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist: <string>/Users/stephenfisher/Library/Fonts/Verdana</string>
I assume the only ones that matter here are the /Users/galeon and in particular .gconf files as the other are OSX pref files. Yet even the suspect ones are Galeon/Mozilla files not gnumeric, abiword or gramps so I don't see the connection.
Depending on what you find, the procedure to follow afterwards and the conclusions for the true origin of your problem would be different.
In addition to previously reported errors for abiword and gnumeric.
Now this is interesting, because it seems to indicate that these "previously reported errors" are not related to applesystemfonts.
This is weird. Did you try to remove the .gnome* directories in your home directory? Or any other ~/.g* directories like ~/.gconf? Maybe there is a definition of a default font somewhere in there that doesn't work.
You haven't tried this yet, have you?
No. There are alot of files in these directories. Do I remove the whole directory or something specific?
The only package that depends on applesystemfonts is abiword. If you remove the abiword package, nothing else should ask you to install applesystemfonts.If this is true then why am I getting the font errors above for every installed gnome program that relies on gnome 2.4 when I simply move the applettf directory. (Gnucash still works but then it is still basically a gnome 1.4 program.) Seems to me there is some conflict wherein applesystemfonts inserts a default font dependency rather than just make the apple fonts available if you want to use them which I thought was the purpose of the program. This behavior is I think also why when I deleted applesystemfonts from my previous install gnome started bombing; i.e. couldn't find verdana default font.
It is possible that some gnome programs choose Verdana as default font when it is available. This would explain this behavior. It would not explain the other error you have been talking about.
