Looks like cairo does not recognize FreeType unless FontConfig is installed. 
This is a somewhat deceptive message because FreeType IS installed.  Although
the message at the bottom says to install both FreeType and FontConfig, the
"following font backends" section makes it seem as though the dependency is on
FreeType when in reality it is on FontConfig.  (I'm assuming that this is the
reality of it because (A) FontConfig has a dependency on FreeType and (B) Cairo
was suddenly very happy once FontConfig was compiled and installed.)

Please change "the following font backends" display to stress a dependecy on
FontConfig, not FreeType.
