Actually, they use even more. Or at least pretend to...

But I went down to Y 100 and tried again, and it was the same result
as with kochi, just with a larger image: lots of squares. It seems
that the program is grabbing character images byte by byte, which does
not work on CJK languages, as you need at least two bytes to address a
character. I also checked for bitmap fonts in the Ubuntu repositories,
and the smallest one comes in 16x16, most other fonts were 40x40.

Looks like this is not easily solved...
