Welcome to SO! Please look up what's [allowed & on topic](http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic) for this site as well as [how to ask a question](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask). Asking for outside scripts is off topic and not allowed. Additionally, asking for someone to do something for you will usually end up with getting your question downvoted. SO is for providing help to specific questions about programming, not for requesting development of a solution. – JNYRanger Aug 06 '15 at 15:12

Depends on your platform.
On Windows with .Net you can convert a string with a TTF font into a GraphicsPath object. Then you can convert the GraphicsPath into a sequence of points to send to your plotter.

I am certain that other platforms and libraries have similar capabilities.
