Description of problem:

While booting the system, gdm-wayland-session complains undefined symbol
FT_Done_MM_Var in libfontconfig, the same behaviour occurs issuing a startx
from a textual console in a system started without graphical level.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontconfig-2.13.1-3.fc29.x86_64.rpm 

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system with default settings.
2. 
3.

Actual results:

Booting hangs on a blank screen with a steady cursor.

Expected results:

Plymouth screen with fedora logo, then a X session.

Additional info:
I am providing journal and boot logs links on fedora paste:

Apparently you had freetype-freeworld installed and it was replaced by
freetype-2.9.1-6 which has Obsoletes line of it. This was caused by outdated
freetype-freeworld package and isn't needed anymore because freetype has
enabled ClearType thing by default now. this replacement should basically fixes
your issue though, are you saying that you still see it even if you have
freetype-2.9.1-6 installed?

Yes, I think that something went messed up in the packages. Since this problem
is specific to me only, I will change the severity to low. Now I will try a dnf
reinstalling all packages, otherwise I'll do a clean installation.

Solved by reinstalling F29.
