It seems like you could set a transform to zoom in on a portion of
the glyph for each page that you want generated and call Glyph::print
for each page.

Given a glyph of a specific size and a request for a specific scale
(or number of pages) it seems that an object could be written to
automate transforming around and spitting out the pages.
