FreeType 1 is no longer supported.  Please use FreeType 2.  With its
modular design you should be able to deactivate all drivers not
necessary for your application.

I have no idea what you want to show.

Well, FreeType expects a font and a series of glyph indices (or
character codes) and converts the outlines contained in the font to
bitmaps.  It is up to you what you are doing with the output.

Since I don't know how PCL5 works I can't help.
