Thanks, I found libfontconfig1. I still have a problem with 
libfreetype6. I made a mistake to install xfree 4.2 from sarge whose 
libfreetype6 is not compatible with libfreetype6 from woody.

I guess I'll have to remove all the xfree 4.2 files which means I'll 
have to reinstall all the apps that depend on X.
