You can use OWL (Borland/Inprise) to load any font. I have considered such
a programming project before, but I am glad you did it already. If I can
find more specific information when I get home I'll let you know. Or, we
could collaborate? I may take your source code provided in your message and
put it into Borland C++ Builder. That would make it much easier to add
features.
