Currently the build.log is showing

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:65 (MESSAGE):
  ICU Not Found ARGH
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also
"/builddir/build/BUILD/fontmatrix-0.9.99-Source/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

not sure what has changed that caused this. I know this is very old code but I
am not aware of CMake build system.

Perhaps libicu version bump (F-27 fontamatrix successful build was with libicu
57.1 v.s. F-28 uses 60.2) caused F-28/rawhide build error.

So looking at fontmatrix-0.9.99-Source/cmake/modules/FindICU.cmake, it
contains:

19 # This is a perverted FindICU since we rather look for ICU Layout
module
     20 FIND_PATH(
     21 ICU_INCLUDE_DIR 
     22 NAMES layout/LayoutEngine.h
     23 DOC "Include directory for the ICU Layout library"
     24 )

and actually fontmatrix-0.9.99-Source/src/icushaper.h needs some icu layout
header files. But it seems removed from icu 58:

Thank you Mamoru for your help here.

I think time has come to let this package die. There is no upstream
contributors left to work on this project
https://github.com/fontmatrix/fontmatrix/commits/master

I think I will retire this soon.

It is sad to see this package retired by me today but there is no upstream
commits since last 7 years and no one is working on this package's code.

Closing this bug now as I have retired this package for f28+
