Try doing a find over all the filesystem. Look for things like this:
find / -name libfontconfig*.so* \
-or -name libfreetype*.so* \
-or -name libXft*.so*
Should find something along these lines:
/opt/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.5
/opt/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so.6
/opt/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so
/opt/xft/lib/libXft.so.2.1.1
/opt/xft/lib/libXft.so.2
/opt/xft/lib/libXft.so
/opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4
/opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
/opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.so
If you find more than this you may have a problem. Disregard libXft.so.1
which comes with X, that''s OK. OpenOffice also comes with its own
libfreetype.so.6, I usually preload my own in the swriter script. Anyway,
get back to us with anything suspicious.
