Hi,
get the LCD basically working first, code can be found here (needs modifying for arduino) :
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1200398529/16#16

Then take a look at the bitmap data in the code, eg :

// This table defines the standard ASCII characters in a 5x7 dot format.
static const byte FontLookup [][5] =
{
  {
    0x7E, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x7E     }
  ,   // A

.....that bitmap information needs tweaking to enlarge the characters, and you will probably need either 2 or 4 of them to make each letter you need for your project.
Oh and remember that the LCD is a 3V3 device, not 5V !!
