I'll bet it's a fontconfig requirement that's getting in your way. You'll
probably need more details than I can readily provide, but if you'll install
some open source type and font utilities with a package manager such as Fink
or MacPorts (unless you have more experience with this sort of thing than I
- most experienced open source enthusiasts frown on using those types of
solutions, and that's an understatement), you may have better success.
