How about store the font data externally, for reasons
  1. the font data maybe hurge, it take time to burn it to flash make barebox fat.
  2. the part of font data namally don't change durning the devolopment.
  3. 'custom' means usless for other application.
  4. the fontdata maybe stored in a external spi flash and share with OS.
just pass the base address of index and fontdata or tell barebox how to get the
font data.
