As Allan has written: FreeType does *not* interact with gamma at all!
If you want to be very precise you could say that FreeType doesn't
return bitmaps with color or grayscale pixels. Instead, it returns
*coverage* values (i.e., how much area of a pixel is covered by ink),
and the calling graphics library has to further process it. This
includes application of gamma correction.
