One crazy idea, can't plymouth reuse the font needed by grub/grub2 ? those are available before any unlocking
The problem is not the font itself but the entire pango framework, which is not that small.
I wonder why though. We don't need to render fancy articles and layouts, especially not in initrd. We are talking about a single (english) sentence at most here. So for that simply using freetype directly to render the text into a buffer should suffice, right? There is no need for any full featured layout engine like pango.
This shouldn't be english only output (which is why plymouth is using
pango + cairo).
