The reason of dual-licensing is that the FTL isn't compatible with the
GPL due to its advertising clause.  If you put your application under
the GPL, all used components must have a license compatible with the
GPL.

You should simply advertise the use of FreeType in your project's
documentation if you use the FTL.
