OK, that's really good to know - I guess what I'd also like to know is when is this static library situation appropriate? To be honest, I'd rather build a full fontconfig2 2.2.9x package (dynamic libraries and all). Is there any reason I shouldn't?
If I recall correctly, the problems come when you have an app that needs fontconfig and also needs a lib that uses the new fontconfig, both the older fontconfig in /usr/X11R6/lib and the new one will be loaded by the dynamic linker and it becomes anyone's guess as to which symbols will be used. But I may not be recalling correctly, so I hope that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
