Resize Propeller font to 8x14

Hi ... I remember some posts about fonts, but I'm not sure if I read something alike before, so here goes.
Currently I write·a PASM driver for a EA LCD display (132x32). Of course the propeller buildin 16x32 font is a bit to big for that, allowing only one line of text. So I did some experiments with the font and here you can see the result. With a few processing steps it can be shrinked to 8x14.
(This test-program·outputs the result to the serial interface)
The resulting font seems to be usable ... well ... except the lowercase a.
Maybe someone else want's to play with it as well .. or maybe someone else has a better piece of code. To be honest I'd like to see the font shrinked to 8x8 ... let's see ...

I used this for my PSM and a few other things...

Currently I'm a bit short in time and could only have a first glance of the first post of the thread ... but this evening I'll digest it ;o)
I was pretty sure that there must be something similar. And it shows me a new direction to my goal of generating an 8x8 font out of the internal font, because it seems to use a different technique. My program is only using boolean expressions so far, whereas the secret fonts seems to skip rows/columns.
