Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Fernando. Thanks for reporting this problem to me. fontconfig
archives are only hosted on fontconfig.org, and their web site
appears to be down at this time. As a temporary measure, I'm putting
the archive on my web site, from which you can manually download it
and put it in the right place for MacPorts to find it. To do so, copy
the following 4 commands into the Terminal:
cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles
sudo mkdir -p fontconfig
cd fontconfig
sudo curl -O http://www.ryandesign.com/tmp/fontconfig-2.4.2.tar.gz
MacPorts should now be able to find it and continue with the install.
I'm Cc'ing the MacPorts Users mailing list in case anyone else has
this problem and needs an immediate solution. I will remove the
archive from my server once I'm sure fontconfig.org is up and running
again.
