Plymouth in initramfs - using console font

I need to have plymouth display messages and receive text/passwords while
still in the initramfs (systemd based).

I have it all working, but the only way I could get it was to put pango,
cairo, all the X libraries and TT font inside the initramfs.  I cannot find
any examples (or anything I have tried) to alleviate having all the extra
libraries to render text inside the initramfs.

Does anyone know if this is possible?  I have a graphic on the display at
the same time as well.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
