Hmm, I think there must be at least some 16bit entities for jumps and
similar things, right?

Well, then I strongly suggest that you take the BDF module and adapt
it to your needs directly, avoiding the rest of FreeType altogether!

Some operations like `x >> 8' only make sense if you have at least
16bit wide registers.
