This function has a special purpose and doesn't work for normal fonts.
You have to have colour glyphs to make this work.  Typically such
fonts contains emojis, and they have a 'CPAL' table.

Please bear in mind that in general FreeType doesn't produce colour
but coverage values.  For example, if a pixel value is 0x80, it means
that the corresponding colour (whatever it is) covers this pixel by
50%.  You have to blend this with the colour(s) you want.
