JFYI, I'm having the same problem but there's a twist. I'm working on
a Portfile for shoes on macports and I only get the white boxes when I
build my Portfile. Everything seems fine when I build manually outside
of macports.

Hi all,
I've been playing with Shoes, and found a few bugs that I want to
try to debug & fix as a way to better understand the framework.
However, so far I've been stymied in attempting to get a Shoes
development environment up and running.
If I follow the MacPorts instructions from http://wiki.github.com/why/shoes/buildingshoesonosx
, I end up with Shoes where all text is being rendered as little
white boxes. I suspect this is a problem with either cairo or
pango, but when I try building those manually (in several different
versions) I end up with the same problem. I'd like to try _why's
prepackaged dependencies from http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/deps/deps-osx-intel-1.6.4-1.20.2.tar.gz
but I'm getting a 404 when I try.
Anyone have any ideas or recommendations for me to try? Thanks
-Kevin
