You can't report your issue there, because you modified the script,
correct? I don't see a drawtext/fontconfig feature request there
either. (I do see your Decklink one.)

Anyway, regarding fontconfig:

Does your machine have actually fontconfig.pc?
On Linux, I would do
$ locate fontconfig.pc
I assume MacOS has a similar function. (Note that the database for
locate is updated in large intervals, it won't find anything I
installed today.)

And regarding static/dynamic:

I have no idea why the compiler would link against a dynamic library
which isn't there. On Linux, I would know how to check the compile-time
and run-time linkers, but not here remotely.

And regarding static vs. dynamic: Is a static libfontconfig available
at all? Does the system provide static libraries? (I sort of doubt it.)
