I know that there fonts in the drivers/video directory in .c > - files, but how can I create it? Does it have to be 16x16? If not, the biggest font in the kernel is sun12x22. I don't think I've ever seen a true 16x16 font. Once you get bigger than 8x8 you tend to reserve more room for the descent (the space below the baseline for chars like 'g', etc.) which results in non-square char boxes. You could use xmbdfed to create a font or modify one. I have a patched xmbdfed to export to a .c file at home. I can try to dig it up...
