Blasting lettering

I'm biding on a job that needs block letters etched into flashed glass for
a memorial window. Any templates or clever shortcuts to do this, short of
cutting out all the letters in resist? Maybe a computer driven outfit that
does this? Years ago there used to be a company that sold dye cut block
lettering.

Someone I know was doing this recently, she just went to a local sign
shop and they cut normal sign making film to her requirements. Seems to
stand upto blasting well although I expect not as well as the thicker
films I have seen intended as blasting masks. I expect most if not all
sign shops these days have the pen plotter like film cutters.
