The stb-truetype library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/stb-truetype) can rasterize TrueType fonts, which then can be rendered with your preferred rendering method. It is probably less mature than FTGL, but should be easy to compile on windows (simply "cabal install stb-truetype" should work, since the source of the underlying C library is included in the cabal package, and GHC includes a GCC disribution).
You can also use cairo [1] and pango [2] from Gtk2Hs [3] for the same purpose. Although not as simple to install as stb-truetype, it is simple enough to install =). Using both will give you very high quality i18n text (I don't know about stb-freetype).
