use original font bitmaps?

Trammell Hudson reverse engineered most of the original font - still missing some glyphs but could test using https://github.com/osresearch/LEDscape/tree/master/fonts to see how it looks

I used http://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/ to draw the font and output the bitmap. It also supports TTF export.

Hello! I could try it out at some point but the NYCTS renders the image on the sign itself so it's a little tricky to do any font swaps. Thats one of the reasons why I don't really plan on changing too much of the original firmware features. See https://github.com/ColdHeat/nycts-unit/blob/dev/transit/mta.py#L4

In the future, with more configurable software running, I can try something like this out.
