You need an OpenType Layout text engine that runs on top of FreeType, 
for example Microsoft Uniscribe, 
(http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/uniscribe/ ), ICU Layout 
(http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/ ) or HarfBuzz 
(http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fHarfBuzz ) which is used by 
Pango and Qt.
