I don't think the Qt freetype backend have had color font support added yet. 
Qt itself does have it, since it was implemented for the Cocoa backend, but it 
hasn't been added to the freetype fontengine.

If you want to have a go at it, I would suggest looking in qfontengine_ft.cpp 
and add handling of FT_PIXEL_MODE_BGRA

The basics should be simple enough. But keep in mind you also need to ensure 
the glyph backing store to also use the right format (Format_ARGB).
