There were a number of changes to font handling in snv_30 as part of the
fixes for bug 5099951 "Fonts look terrible in JDS"
<http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5099951>

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about them to help much beyond the
suggestion I made earlier of trying 'fc-cache -f' to force rebuild of
the fontconfig caches if upgrading from a previous version.

Yes - that's a known bug.   Fontconfig switched to shipping man pages
in DocBook SGML format and relying on tools installed on most Linux
systems to convert to troff format at build time.   Those tools aren't
installed on our build machines, so that failed.
