Hey guys, I need to make a monogram for a client - its a one-time thing, so I dont want to buy software if I dont have to. So I need to be able to create some custom lettering designs, any suggestions?

LaTeX is all I can think of, but the learning curve might not make it worth it (I say that from what I've read, I've haven't tried LaTeX myself because I hear it takes some commitment to learn and I have InDesign anyway).
