Gimp 2.9 font error on the Mac (Snow Leopard 64bit)

A new issue seems to have manifested itself on the Mac. When I recently compiled 2.9, it would not power up and gave me the following error:

"You are using a Pango that has been built against a cairo that lacks the freetype font backend"

Of course, my cairo is built with the freetype font backend. Right now I have fixed this in the following way:

In app/text/gimpfont.c, I changed the following

[code] fontmap = pango_cairo_font_map_new_for_font_type (CAIRO_FONT_TYPE_FT); if (! fontmap)
g_error ("You are using a Pango that has been built against a cairo " "that lacks the Freetype font backend"); [/code]

to

[code]
fontmap = pango_cairo_font_map_new_for_font_type (CAIRO_FONT_TYPE_FT); if (! fontmap)
fontmap = pango_cairo_font_map_get_default ();

/* g_error ("You are using a Pango that has been built against a cairo " "that lacks the Freetype font backend"); */
[/code]

Has anyone else gotten this error or know why it is suddenly cropping up?

Thanks, Partha

I'm going to assume that you build gimp master against latest greatest.

Try also bulding harfbuzz, that's needed now, then rebuild from cairo, or pango, not sure.

You assume correctly. :)

I am going to assume that we need the new harbuzz.
