I've used the scroll saw font for these in the past.. There are two or maybe three different versions of the scrollsaw font.. They are nice because they are made to be able to scroll them without having issues with floaters falling out etc. I guess it depends on how fancy or more plain you want it to be.. 

This is the one I use.. this is all lower case on purpose but the font is made this way with the block below it.. I just use it in inkscape and size it to what I need / want.

Do you know of a good font for this?
A font that does not require a base would be great or a pattern.

Bob, when I make these I use Cooper Black.  I type up the name in Inkscape, give it a bit of a tilt (not a full italic), then move the letters so they are touching and weld them together.  I use 3/4" stock and they stand well without a base as long as you keep the bottoms of the letters in line.
