Being the maintainer of FreeType, I think I can answer this correctly,
so please believe me. The only system-specific stuff is debugging
code. Maybe you are mixing this up with fontconfig?

Well, this is beyond the control of FreeType. Even on Windows,
lilypond talks with fontconfig, right? And as far as I know,
fontconfig doesn't convert fonts – given that FreeType understands a
lot of font formats, this would be really silly.
