When you are at 4 by 4 you might as well use the entire 16 pixel space for every font, rather than worry about them lining up when lower case.

That way you can have a Q that looks like a Q:

    ***
    * *
    ***
       *

You do still have to worry somewhat about space in between characters; if it's missing too often, you can't recognize the character boundaries.
