Dear Paul,

Yes, I have, but the Macports package management system claims
that cairo depends on fontconfig, so fontconfig was
automatically installed.

I have tried to convince Macports not to install any X11
stuff (by setting the global +no_x11 and -x11 configuration
variants).
The list in my previous mail does not show any obvious X11
applications, but according to your analysis it seems I have
not been successful.

A "find / -name .fontconfig -print" with root did not reveal
any such files.
Best regards,
Thomas
