Well, I've managed to code up my own solution, using FreeType on a
desktop computer to pre-rasterise each of the glyphs, then writing some
code to draw the rastered glyphs to the screen. I haven't done a lot of
testing, but early results are promising.
I have uploaded an early version of the rasteriser itself and the font
library that I've written thus far for interest; it is LGPL-2.1
licensed (with binary linking exception).

Critique welcome.
