That's odd, this should check for PangoFT2 and FT2 as well:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PANGOFT2,pangoft2,have_pangoft2=true,have_pangoft2=false)
if test "$have_pangoft2" = "true"; then
  dnl On Solaris with Forte C, at least, need to link app/dia with -lfreetype.
  dnl It's not enough that -lpangoft2 implicitly pulls it in.
  have_freetype=false
  AC_CHECK_LIB(freetype,FT_Init_FreeType,have_freetype=true,have_freetype=false,`freetype-config --libs`)
[...]
else
   AC_MSG_ERROR(Can't find PangoFT2 library)
fi

Did it pass the PangoFT2 test before you installed FT2?
