Once PostScript Level II starts actually showing up in implementations, 
I think it will be pretty simple to use the "forms" facility to do this.  
As I understand it, this is an interface to a font-cache-like mechanism
without having to go through all the hairy goop necessary to define a
font.  Until then, I think defining a font is probably the best way.
