Thank you.  In the first instance without freetype, Gtk built successfully.
It failed to build when freetype was included.

Gtk now builds successfully with freetype and I have pangoft2 at last.  Now
I find I do not have Core Text for pango.

The code I am trying to compile was written for linux using fontconfig and
adapted for macOS with minimal change by making use of atsui fonts.  The
program was originally built for macOS via gtk-osx and jhbuild without
problems.

Now atsui fonts seem to have since disappeared, but a switch from atsui to
coretext fonts should have been straightforward.

Is it possible to get pango built with both freetype and coretext?

The modulesets aren't on your local disk unless you clone the repo.

The Gimp developer knew about the aliasing problem but thought it was local
to his system so he didn't tell me, and since my projects are Gtk3-based I
seldom build Gtk2 anymore. Testing showed that it first occurred with Xcode
8 on 10.12 so it's been around for a while.

It turns out that there's a simple solution, just add --disable-visibility
to autopen-args. I've made that change and pushed it so you should be able
to build now. If you're sitting at an error prompt you'll need to quit and
restart jhbuild to get the new module.
