PSP fonts - replacement font?

RE: PSP fonts - replacement font?
So, the condensed ones are too short. Orbitron's width is pretty good, though. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an italic... guess I could do a faux italic? But it's also missing a lot of e.g. accented characters.

For metrics high level on the base font, it seems like T should be square, M should be 7:6, S should be 5:6, o should be square, m should be 3:2, etc. These are all rough.

In the sentence "This game's system data uses the aut" (the larger font cuts off in the game I was testing here, it wants to use small bold), the w/h ratio should be about 21.

Personally I don't really care about making the font look similar, I'm mostly concerned about getting a font that has the same basic size characteristics. A font that is too tall compared to its width is just going to render wrong in some games, no matter what we do.
