At one stage(the latex graphics compaion era, pstricks included pst-char 
whoch gave you a comman \pscharpath.

Basically, large letters that you could spec stuff like outline colour 
and thinkness and infill colour.

An example from the book;

begin{pspicture}(0,-1)(8.7,2.5)
   \fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont
 
\pscharpath[fillstyle=solid,linecolor=red,fillcolor=lightblue,linewidth=2pt]
              {\fontsize{1.5in}{1.5in}\selectfont \LaTeX}
\end{pspicture}

FWIW, it is a Debian lenny version.

Basically I need to know how to make this work;
