EDIT: Yup. Neither does Kobo, nor KOReader/Plato.
PDF, not PNG.

This also affects any ebook reader that can load "publisher-provided" fonts. You know, like where the ebook includes its own font. I know not a lot of them do, but a lot of ebook readers support it.

Freetype is one of only a tiny number of modern font rasterization libraries, and the only one that's open source. Basically everybody except Apple and Microsoft use Freetype.
