How to use Android system FreeType library in native code?

I use FreeType in my Android applications as a static library which i compile myself. I want to make my app smaller so i'm looking for a possibility to use the system version of FreeType. Is it possible to do? Is it a stable API?

According to this article it is not possible and requires you to cross compile the library.

If you need FreeType (a library to render fonts), you'll need to cross-compile it. Note: The Android system uses FreeType but internally it doesn't expose it to native apps.
