GD&T Symbols in the Windows Client

Hi,
I have a requirement to display GD&T symbols in the windows client of NAV 2013 R2 (as part of a quality control system).
GD&T is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_ ... olerancing

It sounds easy since it is just a text string (like [|,**&|A|B|C]) displayed with a special font.
But as far as I understand it you can’t define a font for a field in the windows client.

Is there an easy way to do this?

My plan right now is to have a field where a user can enter the text string and a BLOB field with a bitmap next to it.
When the text string is entered NAV will draw a bitmap (using System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString) with the GD&T font and stream it into the BLOB field to be displayed to the user.

But this sounds like a complicated solution to a simple problem, so I just want to be sure I don’t miss a simpler way of doing it.

Thanks!
