A quick 'nm -D' and 'ldd' on my system shows that FT_Select_Size is 
provided by the freetype library

$ nm -D /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so | grep FT_Select_Size
                  U FT_Select_Size
$ ldd /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so
     linux-vdso.so.1 =>   (0x00007fffb8cf2000)
     libfreetype.so.6 =>  /usr/lib64/freetype-freeworld/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00007ff9fcb08000)
     libexpat.so.1 =>  /lib64/libexpat.so.1 (0x00007ff9fc8df000)
     libc.so.6 =>  /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff9fc566000)
     /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ff9fd005000)
$ nm -D /usr/lib64/freetype-freeworld/libfreetype.so.6 | grep FT_Select_Size
000000000000dc80 T FT_Select_Size


Looks like your freetype library may be the problem: try verifying (rpm 
-Vv freetype) and you probably should make sure you have freetype-devel 
installed.

Hope this helps.  If not, try R-SIG-Fedora :
