I don't think compiling FreeType for the PalmOS should be a problem,
though we hacent' checked it completely for 16-bit correctness.

Regarding 4-bit greyscale to 16bit color support, it's not something
we wish to support in a font engine (a graphics library would be
better in this role). It is however possible to provide custom
"span callbacks" to the anti-aliased renderer to generate 4-bit
gray levels (instead of the default 8-bit ones)..

Hope this helps..
