You've run into an additional problem which needs sorting first:

# rm -r /var/pkg-get/downloads
# pkgrm CSWpkgget
# wget http://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/csw/stable/sparc/5.8/pkg
_get-3.3.1-all-CSW.pkg
# pkgadd -d pkg_get-3.3.1-all-CSW.pkg
# rm pkg_get-3.3.1-all-CSW.pkg

That's pkg-get done, now you need a lower version of fontconfig.
pkg-get can't downgrade versions so you have to manually remove
fontconfig then install again:

# pkgrm CSWfconfig
# pkg-get -U -i fontconfig

and that's fontconfig restored.  Test for others that need manual
downgrade by updating all and look for a warning message:


# pkg-get -u
...
ERROR: remote version older than current version.
...


pkgrm them and reinstall.
