I think that Freetype 2.1.0 now supports 16bit sbit (embedded bitmaps). The module is called "sfnt". A usage of this module can be found in package "ft2demos" (also in freetype project) and the binary is called "ftview". The effect of sbit is shown in http://moyang.org/sbit.html . The soucecodes calling sbit functions are in ft2demos->src-> ftcommon.i <http://cvs.freetype.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ft2demos/src/ftcommon.i> . Hope these would help. Thanks.
