The documentation rightly mentions about the dependency on the dependency on Freetype extension.

Dependencies
FreeType Support and GB Support enabled for PHP

But there is no requirement check on install. I think it would be better to add this to requirements checklist as the absence of Freetype can lead to White Screen of Death, which is a little difficult to debug.

I have added a simple patch. Kindly review.

I would change the spelling of "freetype" or "Freetype" to "FreeType", so it is consistent.
