I think this points needs clarification: when you say "the same characters must be present in each font", there's a lot of flexibility in newRPL for that. Much like on modern operating systems, it's up to each font to decide which characters to provide and which ones don't. For example, the 5-pixel font doesn't have to provide all symbols if it's nearly impossible to read them anyway.
Ideally, the 256 characters in the Hp48 should be there for the font to cover "basic needs".

EDIT: Here's the bitmap of the 5-pixel font from hpgcc3, if it's of any help to anyone out there willing to add more symbols
