I've wished for a 15x30 font for quite some time, because that would look good on an OLPC laptop screen that's 19cm (7.5") at 1200x900. A 15x30 would give me 80x30 characters, while a 16x32 would give me somewhat less practical 75x28 with extra space around.
I'm wondering what resolutions are you targetting? Perhaps a 30x15 would do just as well, and if we need an 32x16, then we could perhaps just add an ability to scale one of the existing fonts by a factor of 2.
Cheers Lubo
