>Description:
x11-wm/fvwm2-devel uses Xft and fontconfig. The configure script
of fvwm looks for fontconfig-config in order to detect fontconfig.
Since version 2.1.92 fontconfig-config is no longer installed by the
fontconfig port. Thus the fvwm configure fails to detect fontconfig
and will not compile in freetype support.

>How-To-Repeat:
You need to have fontconfig 2.1.92 installed in order to reproduce
the problem.

cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2-devel/ && make install

You can either watch the configure messages stating that
fontconfig-config was not found or look into config.log or look
at the output of fvwm -V.

>Fix:

At least the configure script needs to be fixed so that it can use
pkg-config fontconfig instead of the old fontconfig-config. I don't
have time to do it myself, sorry.
