John Hobby's MetaPost allows you to combine complicated text (TeX or
troff) with geometries.
Everything is in kerTeX:
https://kertex.kergis.com/
and it installs on Plan9.
KerTex also provides mp2ps(1) (and even converting to PDF using gs(1)
with the "-p" flag) allowing to generate images from MetaPost pictures,
not having to bother about the fonts definitions and allowing to generate
a PS/PDF just the size of your(s) picture(s).
