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.

Can I create a separate branch in the freetype2 repository as suggested by
Werner? (

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

Thanks,
