The major problem is getting the width and bevel exact on the strips of plastic. A few thousandths off and it will wiggle in the tray. Then getting the spacing, (width), to the exact place is also difficult.

I made a Greek font for my pantograph and said never again.

When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Accent Signage in MN does custom templates. I'm not sure if they could do a whole alphabet. But if you call them, they should be able to tell you what cutter/depth to use to cut you own.

New Hermes still cuts the type in-house. However I believe they use old machines to do it so the fonts are somewhat limited.

I have often made a template with the rotary CNC to use on the pantograph. The pantograph offers more fixturing capabilities than the CNC. Font sizes, fonts, and logos are all no problem when doing this. If you want to make strips to fit type holders, bevel them with your beveler. Ordinary engraving plastic works quite well for a few dozen templates. If you are doing more, use 1/16" phenolic (Norplex). Using "lockease" (a graphited lock lubricant) sparingly on the templates will make things go much faster.
