The currently-autogenned version of poppler (at least in harvester/2024-02) requires freetype-2.11 but only 2.10.x is available, resulting in this build failure:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find Freetype: Found unsuitable version "2.10.4", but required is
  at least "2.11" (found /usr/lib/libfreetype.so)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:592 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindFreetype.cmake:162 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  CMakeLists.txt:152 (find_package)
 

Possible fixes:

1. autogen freetype.
2. lock poppler to the latest version that works with freetype-2.10
3. ?

I am thinking we should do #2 as a workaround and then look into updating and testing freetype independently and ensuring it still gives us the same font rendering we want. I hate changing freetype and then having font quality change randomly from what we are used to so some testing here is in my opinion very desired.
