Here's what rpm has to say:

[emader doramichan emader]$ rpm -q freetype
freetype-2.1.2-6
[emader doramichan emader]$ rpm -q --filesbypkg freetype
freetype                  /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
freetype                  /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.1
freetype                  /usr/lib/libttf.so.2
freetype                  /usr/lib/libttf.so.2.3.0
    [the rest of the stuff is in /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/locale]
[emader doramichan emader]$

Finally, here's what's in config.log:

[emader doramichan pango]$ grep FT_Get_First_Char config.log
configure:8351: checking for FT_Get_First_Char
ac_cv_func_FT_Get_First_Char=yes
[emader doramichan pango]$
