If you are ready to manage the buffer yourselves and carefully track
the pen coordinates for proper layout, you might be able to use
FT_Outline_Render with  FT_RASTER_FLAG_DIRECT and some callback
function.

https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-outline_processing.html#ft_outline_render

This is what a lot of games use when they do not want to rely on a
heavy layout engine like Cairo.
