I am not sure how you want to use the 4-bit grayscale depth available for fonts.
If you want to render something anti-aliased you can use ghostscript to render
text (piece by piece, or the whole alphabet) as pbm (set output device). Take a
look at the font2c utility and gv options for clues. You can render any PS page
(including one custom made by a script to contain just one character at a
well-defined position) to pgm format (which is what I suppose you want, to get
at the 'gray' parts of the antialiased output. Recoding pgm as C initialized
data is extremely easy. I have never used antialiasing with pgm output but it
should work.

hope this helps,
