Speaking of software, does anyone know of a library or scriptable tool to convert SVG to HPGL? (That supports text with custom fonts.)

Like another commenter mentioned, HPGL is still used in cutters and engravers. we have a project where we're generating custom SVG files and need an automated way to convert them into HPGL to be laser engraved.
