Drat, I have a freetype sort of error with the latest mozilla (below, it's rather long...) 1.7.2-1 is installed and working fine, but I installed Xorg (in place of XFree864.4) since installing 1.7.2-1, so that may be the cause of the problem?
This is a known issue between Mozilla (and Firefox) and Xorg. The next version of Mozilla (1.8a6 if a Fink package is made for it) will have it fixed. FF1.0 already has a patch in the pipeline.
What you can try to do is add the following line (note the leading + sign)
+ac_add_options --disable-freetype2
to the file "/sw/fink/10.3/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/mozilla.patch" right after the line that says "+ac_add_options --enable-xft".
I can't verify to see if this actually works, but it _should_.
