Ah, a *real* man.  :-)

Certainly.  Here is a blurb from Freetype you might find interesting:

 The FreeType project is a team of volunteers who develop free,
 portable and high-quality software solutions for digital typography.
 They specifically target embedded systems and focus on bringing small,
 efficient and ubiquitous products.

It has two dependencies: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

(those are debian package versions)

That seems reasonable to me, but like I said, we are open to better
solutions.
