But that's exactly what postscript _is_ -- a printer API that lets you
select fonts and layout and then renders text to some device....

It's sad that some printers don't support it, but it's not like the
alternatives are much more dependable (maybe pdf is, these days, but
it's basically postscript, so maybe something could be worked out).
