Couldn't you define the lines around a character? After that do a scanline
fill, and use anti-aliasing for the lines around the character.

Subject: [JAVA3D] I'd like to "anti-alias" small polygons
> VisAD includes code to convert fonts to small polygons
> for 3-D rendering. Each character converts to many polygons,
> typically 50 to 70 polygons. However, the characters are very
> hard to see when we zoom out.
>
> One possible fix might be anti-aliasing, but it only seems
> to apply to lines and points, not polygons (it is in
> LineAttributes and PointAttributes but not PolygonAttributes).
>
> Is there any way to anti-aliasing polygons? Or any other way
> to make small characters composed of polygons look better when
> zoomed out?
