Hi,

There is already nice font converted here:

 Width: 17 x  Height: 23 points

The tricky part of such fonts is that to look good you need points so cannot make it very small. It will look crappy. You can try to draw your own font by creating a "8" symbol and cutting lines by this tool:

You can also load the .h file above to the tool.
