I'm not the OP, but I would also like to use freetype everywhere.  I
have some apps that are heavily text-based, and it would make sense to
offer high quality text rendering.  The windows text rendering isn't
very good (which is why Acrobat Reader for example offers its own
rendering).  Having an option to use freetype would offer quality text
rendering on all platforms (of course optional, since for most purposes
apps should use the native font renderer.)
