Thanks guys for all of the scintillating responses.  I have some white decal paper so I think I'll try using that in conjunction with one of the programs mentioned.  I do not have Corel Draw so I may find I'm a bit limited but the suggestions posted by Missaberoad seem to have some merit.  I'll report back.....

IN MS Paint you can type it in, then move the individual letters wherever you want them.

There are lots of options -- especially something that's going to be as small as an NScale sign -- you don't always need a sledgehammer to drive a small nail :)

But, wait!  It's N scale - everything is a sledge hammer compared to an N scale nail!   :trollface:

My point was -- I don't over think or over engineer the mundane - such as the I being slightly off center on a decal or sign that most will never see, especially since everything in model railroading is a compromise compared to the real world ..

fWIW...here are two ready to print images which were designed in scale size measuring .5 x .05" dimensions
not sure how they will print on decal paper but were readable on plain white paper
