Thanks Dan.  I was just considering the -f option a few minutes ago - so with 
your prompting it is busy building as we speak (well, type...).

BTW:  I use 'make update' and portupgrade -Fa daily, and then run portupgrade 
whenever I feel the urge.  I am in the habit of using -rR on portupgrade, so 
generally my ports are fairly current, and well co-ordinated.  For example, 
the versions of freetype and fontconfig you listed above are correct on my 
system.  The problems I am having here are really quite unusual.

Anyway, let's see what happens after the portupgrade -f is done.  This may 
take a little while though.

Thanks again for your time.
