Fontconfig Issue

I'm having a problem with fonts under a new build of Fontconfig 2.1. First a little background information and then on to my question at the bottom of this post.

I recently built 2 versions of an application and GTK+ 2.2. The first
build was without components of Fontconfig 2.1 and the second build was with.

To illustrate the components of each build, here is a directory listing of GTK+ 2.2's lib/pkgconfig directory for each build:

The problem I'm having is font related. I have a number of high quality type 1 postscript fonts on this machine. When I use the application with the non-Xft build of GTK+ all of my fonts appear in the font selection process of that application. When I use the Xft-enabled build of GTK+, I only have a minimal set of non-postscript fonts to choose from in the selection process.

I have all the latest X windows and CDE patches on this Solaris 8 machine. If possible, would you be able to shed some light on possible solutions to this font problem?

Thanks.
