That's only done once per font; I didn't think it would matter all that
much for real applications (which don't open fonts all that often). I
can't imagine it takes *that* long to load 256 tiny images though?

If so, I suspect the right plan would be to allocate a temporary 1bpp
pixmap and paint the glyphs using regular core operations in fb and
upload the resulting bitmap.
