Yes, there is a Shogi font for (La)TeX!
It is accompinied by a LaTeX style (OhTeX.sty) for LaTeX 2, I don't know if
there is a newer version for LaTeX 2e.

Yes, it works great on Linux!!!

The diagrams are Japanes style; no a,b,c-i but Japanese 1-9.

I got these from Mr. Ken'ichi HANDA <handa <at> etl <dot> go <dot> jp> in 1993.

I can send them to you, but maybe there are newer ones.
Let me know.
