defoma-hints requires libft-perl, with out it installed if can not
find the required FreeType.pm. 

  troyh@pc:~/proj/fonts/myfonts$ defoma-hints --no-questions truetype myfont.ttf 
  Wait for second...
  defoma-hints Can't locate FreeType.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 4) line 2.

Looking for a replacement FreeType.pm I found:

libfont-freetype-perl

that provides:  /usr/lib/perl5/Font/FreeType.pm

However, it doesn't look like it provides the same API as libft-perl
and can't be used as a drop in replacement.

Looks like this is the same as the long-open #285653, "defoma should 
migrate to an alternative to libft-perl". But there's been no active 
maintenance of defoma since 2007, so not clear if/when this'll get fixed.
