Well... there are alternatives to a GUI.

First, though, regarding cartridges, drivers, etc.  Any good cartridge
should come with a disk that has preset drivers for various WPs
on it.

One cartridge I've used that works well is the Pacific 25-in-1
Cartridge.  Look in the catalogs to see if it's still available.

BUT... a better solution, IMHO, is a software solution.  I use
MoreFonts, which gives me scalable (2 to 999, or something like that)
fonts, comes with a bunch, and imports Adope Type 1 (of which
tons are available, many over the net).  Comes with drivers for
many WP, including Word 5+ (I still use Word 5.0/Dos for the bulk
of my writing).  When I got it, it was about $85, but I'm not
sure of availability.  It's made by MicroLogic.  There are several
packages like this available still, I think - TrueType for DOS, etc.

Look around... like a lot of good DOS software, you won't find it
at the computer stores, but tons of it still is sold by mail order.

Write me if you need more info on MoreFonts.

Hope it helps...
