Howdy Tom!  A straight PostScript font could do the same thing,
but you'd need to custom hand-code it.  It would have the 
advantage of working with any PostScript-capable printer 
or application.  

But it would be tough in either PostScript or TeX.  But is it 
necessary, especially for the first approximation?

For my selfish purposes, all I need is an overstrike-capable 
font I can use in Illustrator.
