Not knowing anything about GBA hardware and DragonBASIC limitations..
Could you upscale the 8x8 font and then use a mask to touch up the result?
In other words:
1. Use the data from the 8x8 font and scale it to 16x16
2. Use a mask of "touch-up" pixels for each scaled letter
3. Display result
That way you could have both fonts and save some space, but, I'm probably missing something :)

Good Evening, MoonGoon:
* By hardware, you cannot scale tiles (at least I don't know how to do it).
You can scale sprites but it's a very lossy effect.
I have included both fonts now. By removing the 8x8 lowercase letters and limiting the large letters, the template for the 1024 (hardware limit!) for GBA is as follows:
The blank area up there is where I removed the talk-bubbles and plan to put other images for
as required.
Since space is so tight, these really aren't desireable. I may make a single bubble where you can insert a single 8x8 char. later, but probably not.
Hope This Helps !
