I assume you mean this aur package which freetype2 is a dependency and should be pulled automatically.

Can you pass the full output of the error you see?

Can you pass: pacman -Qs freetype2 ?

Re: im trying to install tofi but fails every time [Solved]

Is the base-devel package installed?

Found pkg-config: YES (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/pkg-config) 0.29.2

What if you remove the above local install of pkg-config?

Please provide an updated `makepkg -si` output in code tags after you have removed the local install of  pkg-config.  You can also respond to multiple posts in one of your own.

I fixed it, It is a problem with the homebrew. I unistalled homebrew and installed all packages with pacman
