The original FreeType was written in Pascal and it has been resuscitated and placed in Lazarus.
Subversion
The new LazFreeType project is a part of Lazarus and is located in the directories:
lazarus/components/lazutils lazarus/lcl/lazfreetypeintfdrawer.pas
The old source code of FreeType itself can be downloaded from the lazarus-ccr in:
lazarus-ccr/components/freetypepascal
Example applications
Located in the Lazarus SVN
lazarus/examples/lazfreetype/lazfreetypetest.lpi
One needs to place the fonts; arial.ttf, timesi.ttf, verdana.ttf in the same directory as the executable or else set a path in the lazarus/examples/lazfreetype/mainform.pas unit to the font to use.
License
From: http://www.freetype.org/license.html
FreeType comes with two licenses from which you can choose the one which fits your needs best.
The FreeType License is the most commonly used one. Full text here: http://www.freetype.org/FTL.TXT
It is a BSD-style license with a credit clause (and thus compatible with GPLv3 but not GPLv2).
The GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.
For all projects which use GPLv2 also or which need a license compatible to the GPLv2.
