Nope, I had gaim generate a fresh .gaim directory for me.

I initially used the version that came with the XFree86.org 4.3.0 binary
distribution, which appears to be 2.1.0.  Today, I manually removed both
this version of freetype2 and fontconfig, and installed the latest
versions out of the the ports collection (freetype2-2.1.5_1 and
fontconfig-2.2.90_3, respectively).

Running fc-cache as root gives me:

Unfortunately, running a freshly built version of GAIM produces the same
results as before.  Perhaps part of my install was statically linked to an
older version of the fontconfig libraries?  Most of the ports were built
using the XFree86.org "bundled" freetype2 and fontconfig; I'm not sure how
that might play into this, as I'm not quite clear as to what system
components use these libraries.

I'd be glad to give you any additional information that you might be
interested in; I'm stumped at this point.

Thanks again,
Steve
