If what you want is a small graphics/font system then I'd recommend the
work stb libraries from http://nothings.org. He's got an image loader that
comes in at around 40k of x86 binary, which supports PNG, JPEG, GIF
etc... and a .ttf render of around 2,000 lines of code (not sure of the
compiled size). They're all public domain licensed, well maintained,
and have no external dependencies.
They're not the fastest, but they are the smallest that I've seen.

Whether it's a good idea to load such additional features into U-Boot
or not, I don't really know.

Regards,
Andre
