Yes, FreeType has been specifically developed to work in memory-tight
environments. Due to its modularity, you can strip off all components
you don't need, making its footprint very small. The library is known
to work on ARM, however, I don't know whether it works out of the box
with your compiler and OS. Patches are highly welcomed :-)
