I think you'll have to explain in a little more detail exactly what you're trying to do here.

A splash screen for an OS is typically just a bitmap image, so you'd use the font in the image editor you use to make the image.
If you want your OS to render the font, that's a whole other job. You'd have to do one of these things:
- Port freetype to your OS & use it
- Write your own ttf font renderer
- Convert the font to bitmap and write code to render it
- Convert the font to bitmap and use a library such as bzt's simple font rendering library
