you dont need to know where freetype is located. you just get a support to be able to change fonts with it. Now just copy the fonts you want to use to c:/system/fonts or d:/system/fonts, when you have putted them there you can open sman and go to utilities>set system fond and choose the font you want. after that. reboot your phone.

One piece of advice, if you want to have *bold* fonts in the system, you have to add the right variations of the font.

In my case, to have the bold + regular fonts in the system, I had to install these 4 files in the Fonts folder for the "Pigiarniq" font:

Pigiarniq Bold.ttf
Pigiarniq Heavy.ttf
Pigiarniq Light.ttf
Pigiarniq Regular.ttf

In SMan select "Pigiarniq" size 13 and reboot everything will be fine.

BTW, if you want this font search "Pigiarniq" in Google.
This is a very nice *readable* font with same size of the System font, wich means you wount get all the interface weird with incomplete text.
Besides, it's beautiful in anti-alias.

Have fun!

Here's a screen shot with the Pigiarniq font after a reboot (anti-alised).
