One of our grad students hacked up a previewer using dviterp.c (a tex 
interpreter/previewer) and some homebrewed display stuff using gl's 
defrasterfont() to translate the pxl to sgi_font for previewing.

As it says in defrasterfont.z: "The hardest part of creating a new
raster font is generating a bit map for each character."

If there's enough interest I'll bug him to post it.
