Wine cannot find the FreeType font library

["Rick Shepherd" <richard.shepherd@eresmas.net>]

When running wine under LinEx (Debian) I get


> Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.  To enable Wine to
> use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
> or equal to 2.0.5.
> http://www.freetype.org


and the Win application in question will not run. How can I rectify this
 in words of one syllable, please, am a newbie)
