The only change in FreeType might be FT_RENDER_MODE_DF, or maybe, some interface to add that
dynamically.
This is what I have planned to do for vector fonts, since the FT_Renderer module converts glyph's outline to bitmap.
And for bitmap fonts I will add something like FT_Bitmap_Convert which will convert the existing bitmap to distance field.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Although I don't understand 'private branch'. Are you talking about local branch? What am I missing here?
Thanks,
