I'm going to assume you know about the Font object but don't want to use it for  
some reason.  Otherwise, ignore the rest.

I would recommend using PSselectfont instead as it is less postscript to send  
to the Window Server.

After quickly going through the disassembly, we see that if we pass in 8, the  
following postscript is emitted

8 execuserobject setfont

If 9 is passed in

9 execuserobject setfont

is emitted.  So, I would say that you pass in the user object that your font  
is.  Since neither PSfindfont, nor PSscalefont create the user object, you  
probably have to do that manually.  Overall, quite a painful process when you  
can use either PSselectfont, or just make your own wrap.
