You should use both generators actually: cmake_find_package & cmake_find_package_multi. So you could write find_package(Freetype REQUIRED). What happen is that Find module files have precedence over Config files by default. So FindFreetype.cmake (which is not very robust) took precedence over config file generated by conan. This is why it’s better to always use both generators, to avoid to rely on Find files shipped by CMake when they exist, because they are fragile (specially when dependencies are static).

Noted, good to know. I’m gonna add cmake_find_package.
