If you have any half-way decent word processing program (most computers do): Type in what you want then play with the font, size, and whether bold or not until you get what you want.
There are also tons of free fonts available for download many with a western flavor.....

You're welcome - I use that trick all the time for lots of things where and when I need some nice lettering....got a couple of fonts that I can even type letters as if I were using a quill pen........on the right paper it looks pretty darn good......there are also several old time printers fonts such as Caslon, Poor Richard, adn Book Antiqua that look right smart ob proper paper...
