Installed versions of pango and cairo are (copied straight from macports): pango @1.16.5_0 pango @1.20.2_0+no_x11 pango @1.20.3_0+no_x11 (active) cairo @1.6.4_0+no_x11 cairo @1.6.4_1+macosx+no_x11 (active) As you can see, both of the active versions for cairo and pango have X11 disabled. I followed the instructions from http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX under the "Compiling Inkscape with native GTK using MacPorts [experimental]" heading to the best of my ability. -- Matthew Peterson Programmer Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center

I asked around, and nobody knew. What I would suggest, is that you try visiting irc.gnome.org, in the "#gtk+" channel. Since the native

Putting that line into Inkscape didn't seem to help, although inkscape is getting the change. I think it might be a problem with pango. The errors I am getting are:

Seems to me that pango isn't reading the font files right.
These issues are indeed caused by Pango and the problem does not come from note having bitstream vera sans (BTW, switching to Deja Vu sans as the default would be a wise move since most new distros are using this new version of the Bitstream fonts).
If I remember well, the problem, for me, was that Pango was build by MacPorts with an X environement in mind while, obviously, the rest is X-free (no pun intended). So look for a no_x11 variant of Pango, or something similar. Basically it must remove dependencies on X and freetype and use Cairo to render the fonts. When Cairo is compiled natively, it ultimately removes any dependency on X11. The other possible issue is that font stuff changed recently in Cairo and Pango and that some environement variables names related to fonts may be different between the two. Which versions does MacPorts gives you on your G4 on 10.4?
I'll look a bit more into this when I am on my main machine.
