In the 90s I bought a copy of a small software called 3D Font Creator (Fun fact - I was able to find it on Amazon [1] now...) , that did something like this. I used it to create cool little logos for my personal homepage and such. Just a bit amusing how far we've come in web technologies that this is all JS and CSS now.

I recall another tool called "Harvard Graphics" using which 3d-ish text could be printed using a dot-matrix printer.
I think I have the CD somewhere still. Should probably send an image textfiles.org way...
