Hi Bruce,
sorry, i only have Fedora, which is a rpm based (redhat) distribution,
and never get in touched with Manjaro.
My thoughts yesterday was: Could it be, that you update Manjaro und
startet successfully darktable the last time without a reboot? And
than, after the reboot a few days later you get the error?

Nevertheless, i looked in my fontconfig, but i saw nothing interesting
in line 29. The fontconfig is not so long, so perhaps you can post it
here.

Googling the libportmidi.so.2 error, which could be the root cause
gives a hint, that dt crashed, when someone connected his Oly EM5 to the
system with "mount camera".

So, perhaps, is anything mounted (or plugged in) when you start dt?
One guy ask him, to start dt with:
darktable -d camctl
that should not be the solution, but perhaps a hint to stdout in the
console.

On my system, there is also no libportmidi installed and i am
wondering, why it is needed.

what gives:
ldd /usr/bin/darktable | grep midi

where /usr/bin/darktable is the path to dt, which you can get with

which darktable?

greetings from germany,
