Yes, have you got a lot of TeX experience and two months spare?

You have to effectively turn TeX into a postscript version of TeX (actually,
it's worse than that because you don't have the full postscript font
layout - you have to turn TeX into an ISO8859/1 version of TeX) which
will take you a month, even starting with something like PSLatex,
then you'll have to modify the previewer.  This is actually the easier
bit because the previewer already uses native fonts (the approach I took
was to convert the TeX fonts to RiscOS rather than use a traditional
TeX bitmapped previewer).  You'll have to hack a IntMetrics->tfm
converter too.  But it can be done.  I'd say two weeks if you're keen.

Good luck.

PS Don't ask me for help.  The sources you need are all out there; anything
else I may have had is now gone.
