In fact it isn't an hard work. The three parts could be stroke with
pspolygon*. Perhaps some parameters could be usefull, e.g. \Lthick,
\Mthick, \Rthick, \slantv, \slanth (for vertical slant and horizontal
slant), etc.
For the text, I think that the best is to use PostScript fonts (Times
and Helvetica in my source).
