I didn't find a way from the built-in fonts. Because my app only
requires a small character set (digits, decimal point, a couple of
others) I defined some bitmaps of my own that display at an acceptable
size. At least this way I know for sure that the character set is
available on a given handset.

If a char's shape is acceptable, and the enlargment factor isn't too high, 
you can also draw a char to a small bitmap and draw the bitmap enlarged.

Or draw the string to a bitmap, and then copy the bitmap enlarged to the 
screen.
