What problem do you get with freetype. Did you get errors when you install it with apt or did scripts that use freetype not work correctly?
Then you dont have the PHP GD extension installed. Just install the php GD package of your libux distribution to solve this.
Try a "locate gd.so" on your server. maybe its already installed and you only have to uncomment it in php.ini
