== http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2007-11/msg00000.html ==

There is a problem in Leopard (possibly on intel Macs) where calling CoreFoundation with a fork() causes a crash. Unforuntately, if freetype attempts to access native font suitcases, it will access a carbon library that triggers the crash.

Would it be possible to request a freetype variant that would allow disabling of the carbon library access. This can be done by adding

--with-quickdraw-toolbox=no --with-quickdraw-carbon=no

to the configure line. I don't know what other ports this might affect, but none of them can be working on Leopard at this moment.
