The freetype-2.8 API reference shows this #include usage. Look at the documentation provided with libfreetype6-dev in /usr/share/doc/libfreetype6/documentation.html, particulary Tutorial #1 and Example #1. Freetype-2.9 (the most recent upstream version) also has this information. See [1] for information on freetype2's header inclusion scheme and [2] for the tutorial.
