You might be able to do it putting your ASCII Strings into
visad.Text objects and making a ScalarMap of their TextType
to Display.Text, then setting a Font in the TextControl.
There is an example in visad/examples/Test69.java.

If that doesn't work, you can create your own shapes and
display them using a ScalarMap to Display.Shape.

Good luck,
Bill
