Just doing some experiments with a Teensy 3.6 microcontroller board, a graphical display and some other bits and pieces.
Since it was not easy to find a single source of information with a code example and pin connections, here's a compilation of it:
Schematic:
For testing porpoises the supply is not needed as long as USB power cable is connected to the board.
Bellow the code to run:

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
// it just blinks the led
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW

Code result:
The display back side (top of the display as on previous picture is the sd card side)

Hey, thank you very much! Works like a charm on a Teensy 4.0, just a few different pins. That saved me a lot of time.
How to connect this display to Teensy 4.0? Please, help
Hello "Anonymous"
Have a look on the previous comment "Works like a charm on a Teensy 4.0, just a few different pins". I never tested on 4.0 so will not comment.
What to include? Which libraries are used?
Your code states:
#include
#include
#include "font_Arial.h"
#include
Corrected the missing includes in the code.
