The vector font table is created from the SVG file https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/scripts/fontmap_13x19.svg
with this tool: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/scripts/build_vector_font.js
So effectively you do have to generate each character by hand - which had to be done to squash everything into such a small space (and ensure it'd scale nicely).
I think realistically if you need extra codepages, unless you want to spend a lot of time editing SVGs, you're probably best off using bitmap fonts and the font converter at http://www.espruino.com/Font+Converter and just having a different font for each scale.
While right now that only handles ISO8859, modifying it to provide support for other codepages would be trivial (and would be amazingly handy for others too)
