dviscr does expand the $s or $r, but be careful with using batch files.
V.BAT is a batch file, and MSDOS doesn't like the characters = and ; in
batch file arguments.  If you tried something like the following:
  v /pf=c:\emtex\pixel.lj\$rdpi
  v /pf.;c:\emtex\pixel.lj\$rdpi
it is unlikely to work.  There is a warning about this in DVIDRV.DOC.
Yes, I got caught by this a few months ago.

No you don't.  I added the font library support in dvips 5.4.
Read dvips/pc/README.pc
