If you saw my previous post about upgrading to XDarwin 1.1.3, and 
breaking matplotlib, the following seems to work:

Soft-linking to libfreetype.6.3.8.dylib rather than 
libfreetype.6.3.dylib (see below, copied from previous email).

Thanks for that Apple!

I note that in /usr/X11R6/lib that softlinks to the libraries 
mentioned above were recently changed:
