Install the package "apt-file" and you can easily find out in which 
package a particular file is found, even for uninstalled packages.

~/ > apt-file search FTFont.h
libftgl-dev: /usr/include/FTGL/FTFont.h
libftgl-dev: /usr/share/doc/libftgl-dev/html/classFTFont.html
libpoppler-dev: /usr/include/poppler/splash/SplashFTFont.h

It looks like you need the package "libftgl-dev". Depending on your 
Ubuntu version the result may be different though. I did the above 
search on my Lucid machine.

As an alternative you can search at <http://packages.ubuntu.com>.
