Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Fernando. Thanks for reporting this problem to me. fontconfig archives are only hosted on fontconfig.org, and their web site appears to be down at this time. As a temporary measure, I'm putting the archive on my web site, from which you can manually download it and put it in the right place for MacPorts to find it. To do so, copy the following 4 commands into the Terminal: cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles sudo mkdir -p fontconfig cd fontconfig sudo curl -O http://www.ryandesign.com/tmp/fontconfig-2.4.2.tar.gz MacPorts should now be able to find it and continue with the install. I'm Cc'ing the MacPorts Users mailing list in case anyone else has this problem and needs an immediate solution. I will remove the archive from my server once I'm sure fontconfig.org is up and running again.
