I went with plastic for a few reasons. First, the paint sticks better to plastic, and getting odd sizes of plain glass cut these days is a pain because the seller is supposed to play "20 questions" with you to make sure you aren't legally required to used tempered / annealed / whatever glass in your application. Plus, shipping faceplates made out of glass risks the same damage unless you go nuts making a custom shipping crate. BTW, the font I used is TeX Gyre Heros Italic in 48pt (mostly because it had all of the Cyrillic characters needed).
