I'm afraid that I can't help you much beyond that --- I didn't actually *understand* freetype, I just removed the SBCL dependencies from mcclim-freetype (which is really mcclim-freetype-sbcl, AFAICT).
mcclim-freetype works fine with CMUCL, too. (Although you might need to be running telent-clx, rather than the CLX that comes with CMUCL.)

OK. I stand corrected. Nevertheless, I argue that a freetype approach based on CFFI, which is portable over non-CMU-derived lisps as well as CMU-derived lisps is preferable, prima facie. Now, there may be some additional considerations that would make the CMU-derived-specific approach better, but I don't know of any. If you do, please let me know.
Note I'm not trying to brag about my code and denigrate others. All I did was tweak the CMU-derived-specific approach to backend to CFFI instead, a pretty minor change (and one that I did with virtually no understanding of the code.
