I have my own routine that typesets a text and gets back a hbox with the text. I need some kind of macro for the user to be able to specify the text, the font family (this is system dependent) and a style. Both the font family and the style should be optional. 

I will check out Aditya's and Tacos solution and read the MetaFont manual.

Thanks
