PSP fonts - replacement font?

[Sarisa81]

Varying character widths are a problem for everything but CJK fonts, and for professional graphic artists Japanese kana need careful space management. But at this level CJK characters can be treated as squares.

There are lots of systematic ways to measure font metrics; they can be very precise, but PANOSE (a font-matching system) would at least narrow the list down to somewhat similar fonts. I PANOSEd New Rodin DB and got 2B74222824, which gives a pretty detailed image of the font but doesn't help that much since you can't search by PANOSE (or anything else, but PANOSE is the most likely).

If someone has a huge pile of fonts on their computer and can see if anything similar to that comes up, please let me know.

Oh, one thing I forgot to write down that might be useful: calculated relative to em-height (as on http://brunildo.org/test/xheight.pl?), New Rodin's x-height is 0.587, larger than DejaVu Sans at 0.547 and far larger than Liberation Sans at 0.518. In fact, it's an extremely large x-height, which might be why you're having so many problems with fonts being "too big" -- the PSP font's caps are very, very short. The only thing I've seen with a larger x-height is Vectora, which has an x-height (measured traditionally) of 0.83 (by that standard New Rodin is ~0.75). Needless to say it's not free.
