drawtext filter is missing

[Leo Butler]

Summary of the bug:
Hello,

The static build is compiled with --enable-libfreetype but barfs on a drawtext filter. I am attaching the log file.

According to:

https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#drawtext-1

the libfreetype library should be sufficient.

Hi. We did not provide that binary and therefore do not provide support for it.
