I think it's not enough for a full GSoC project, although I'm
notoriously terrible at assessing work / time needed to do
something...

I just sent you a private email with a bunch of GSoC info
(congratulations for getting accepted btw!) and some more exploratory
stuff I suggest you to do WRT those ID3DXFont methods. If / when you
get some more time, keep looking for other functions you might be
interested in implementing. It's probably better to come up with a
larger set of functions / APIs and do as much as time permits (i.e.
not expecting to finish everything) than the other way around.
