hmmm....
...  could be done...
*thinking*

Okay :)
My primitive-little-modeller (written in a hybrid scheme|lisp / C mix :)
can build this and it sounds like fun.

Okay - what format ya want?  Will "md2" do? :)

OR - do you want actual 3D-solid fonts?

I know povray hasn't got real 3d fonts - it uses 2D extruded fonts.  My
guess is something like a Roman font only with bezelling on the front and
back as an example.

More later...
G'day, eh? :)
