X Won't Start: Undefined Symbol

Okay, this is driving me insane. My desktop will start up X and immediately segfault. I get this error in .********-errors:

"x-session-manager: relocation error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Get_BDF_Property"

(If it helps any, I'm on Debian. I was told that "FT" was FreeType, but that was about the extent of help I could get in #debian.)

I'm essentially not able to log into X (shell access is of course unaffected, but it's my desktop) because of this, which is extremely irritating. Can anyone help?
