FreeType will give you a glyph
<http://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-glyph_management.html>,
from which you can get the outline geometry
<http://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-outline_processing.html>.
This works across the font formats that FreeType supports.

If you want “bytecode” specific to a particular format, perhaps you
don’t want FreeType at all?
