Hey,

I havent seen this mentioned by anyone else on the list, so I thought id post 
a fix to the below problem.

As part of an overnight 'world' update (I sync'd just minutes before 
attempting the emerge), fontconfig-2.2.1 was required.  Sadly it failed to 
download the package with the following output :

!!! Couldn't download fontconfig-2.2.1.tar.gz. Aborting.

The text/html file that was downloaded is just a page about the project.  
Clicking around I managed to download the tarball, its full (and correct) url 
is:
 
http://pdx.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/releases/fontconfig-2.2.1.tar.gz

Saving this to /usr/portage/distfiles (in my case) and re- emerging world 
solved the problem :)
