Uh... really can't say =T Both packages are installed here, although I
am using different (older) versions than you are:

~ rpm -qa | grep fontconfig
fontconfig-2.0-3
fontconfig-devel-2.0-3

~ rpm -qa | grep Xft
Xft-devel-2.0.0-0.ximian.1
Xft-2.0.0-0.ximian.1

~ rpm -qa | grep freetype 
freetype-devel-2.1.2-7
freetype-utils-2.1.2-7
freetype-2.1.2-7

I am using SRPMs from RH, but not from RawHide branch (they're 8.0
SRPMs, I believe).

No (I am not sure)... I will try to figure it out from the spec files.

Cool! =) I hope this works for me, too. I tried to find SRPMs for
version 4.2.99 on rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS ,
but they weren't there. Could you please point me to the right place?

Mmmh... what kind of modification? I am about to dive into 4.2.1 spec
file to understand what could be going wrong, maybe you could spare me
of this boring task ;) (please feel free to send me the original spec
file and diff output between that and your own version if you think it
will be easier)

Sounds very good, I am looking forward to trying them. So, where can I
find them? As I said, rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS
was a no-go... =(

Thks again.

Best,

Andre
