Comment:

 `--with-old-mac-fonts` was added to the freetype port in response to a
 [ticket:13045 user request] because Apple shipped resource-fork-based
 fonts with Mac OS X 10.4.x and earlier. In Mac OS X 10.5 Apple switched
 these to data-fork-based fonts so `--with-old-mac-fonts` was no longer
 necessary to access system fonts. In addition, using `--with-old-mac-
 fonts` [ticket:15909 caused problems] in Mac OS X 10.5.x when using PHP as
 an Apache module. Therefore, the freetype port only adds `--with-old-mac-
 fonts` for Mac OS X 10.4.x and earlier.

 I will see about creating a variant to enable you to select (on Mac OS X
 10.4.x and earlier) whether you would like old Mac font support or not.
