I was using freetype 2.3.5 and fontconfig 2.5.0. Maybe tomorrow I'll try it 
with your versions and see if there's better luck.

Doesn't work either.

First I had problems compiling fontconfig. It seems it didn't work if libiconv 
was static. But if libiconv was shared then the mplayer configure didn't 
detect it and so freetype and fontconfig were disabled.

Finally I removed the --enable-static option and that made the mplayer 
configure to detect the shared libiconv and enable support for freetype and 
fontconfig at last.

With cygwin things were easier, it worked perfectly at the first try even with 
--enable-static.
