I would find a standard font (like Ariel or the GPL equivalent) and render
all the characters to a black and white bit map at 4 times the desired
resolution (20x28 in this case) then convert to 4-bit gray scale and reduce
by resampleing to one quarter the original size. That gets you meaningful
gray scale values. Actually, you can just create a 4 bit gray scale image
and type onto that with most graphics programs.

Now, just cut out each character and read out the pixel values to translate
into table data. It may be that Niks program at
http://www.piclist.com/techref/datafile/charset/extractor/charset_extractor.
htm will do that for you, I don't remember if it manages 4bpp source images.

Do please let us know what you end up with?
