A beautiful package, beautiful documentation,    beaurtiful examples but I dont have a freetype library,  so examples  fail.   
 in my shell print(ctypes.util.find_library("freetype")) gives None.Traceback (most recent call last):

You can try to install the freetype-py bindings that will install freetype on your system. Maybe I should get rid of the internal copy of freetype-py and use the "official" one.

Installing freetype-py and updating ext directory fixed that problem.
I then found a similar problem with glfw, which I fixed the same way.
Thanks for the hint!
