Thanks for your insight. So it is not possible to have a character in a
hires font which has odd number of pixels due to the width table being
always in in standard lores coordinates, correct? And there is no such
thing as pure hires font with hires width table, correct? Well that
really makes the conversion a bit more complex.
Such 1 bit padding made automatically to all characters with odd width
may produce ugly looking results.

I don't think so. We've written some internal tools to build and
convert dual-density fonts, and I believe hires fonts are always built
with an equivalent lores font. The problem is that both fonts share a
common character-width table (in standard lores coordinates) so that
each character in the hires font is always an even number of pixels
wide, exactly double the width of the lores font. Since the lores
standard font has plenty of odd-width characters, I don't think you can
use its data as is for hires text.
