I am not really well versed in the usage of these fonts, so all I can give you 
is a few hints. The first thing is that it does not simply suffice to enable 
the define BUILD_FREETYPE, so you'll need the library on your system and 
available to your build environment... but you probably know that already.
The freetype stuff pretty much seems to be done in renderer/tr_fonts.c, so you 
should concentrate on that file if you want to know how freetype integration 
works. Use a debugger to step through the functions and see what everything 
does and you'll quickly grasp what the code already there is doing :)
