:I did the same with fontconfig and now it works for me as well!

:Thanks,

I had similar problems but reinstalling fontconfig did not do the trick.
I also attempted to recompile and reinstall libXft, which didn't work,
then recompiled mozilla from scratch... and that didn't work either.
What's interesting is that mozilla died in several different places.
It began by dying in fontconfig. When I rebuilt fontconfig it died
in Xft. When I rebuilt Xft it died in its javascript submodule.
Portupgrade upgraded about half of the required packages in -fR mode
but died trying to install libiconv on a stale file in /usr/X11.
However, once I got those glitches worked out and the entire ports
tree dependancy rebuilt (in force mode, whether a package was up-to-date
or not)... *THEN* rebuilt mozilla from scratch (for the fourth time)...
then mozilla started working again. But, jeeze, it took about 8 man
hours over two days to get it working again!
Our ports system really sucks when it comes to managing very large
ports like mozilla.
