I was able to install this on Solaris in the past. Not sure if something had changed on my system since then or not. When I do a make install it hangs and starts to use up *lots* of memory: # make install .... /data/Source/fontconfig-2.3.95/fc-cache/.libs/fc-cache: "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Xt+": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs /data/Source/fontconfig-2.3.95/fc-cache/.libs/fc-cache: "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/encodings": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs /data/Source/fontconfig-2.3.95/fc-cache/.libs/fc-cache: "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc": ^C fc-cache fails for that last directory.

Can you run fc-cache just on that directory with FC_DEBUG set to 128?

Looks like FreeType cannot decompress this file for some reason. The good news is that the font isn't useful anyway; it's not unicode encoded and we haven't any way to decode its charset. Please file a bug with the FreeType folks and pass them the font file; when decompressed FreeType opens it quite happily, when compressed, the LZW code gets wedged. To work around this bug, just decompress the file. Note that you can use gzip to recompress it; FreeType appears happy enough to decode that compression scheme.
