I needed to do that for my 475.
I used a standard word processor diagram package to draw the label. I used
"Ubuntu Condensed 7 pt bold". While creating the legend I found it useful
to add lines/circles indicating where the text ought to be, but to not
print those. Rotating the entire picture (by the relevant number of
degrees) for each setting enabled me to ensure that each setting's text was
correctly oriented.
I printed the label on a transparency; I forget whether I used an inkjet or
a laserjet on the high temperature stock; probably the former.
I then mounted the transparency behind the existing skirt to protect it,
and held it place with a dob of glue in the centre. Theoretically the
transparency could flap around, but in practice it was sufficiently stiff
for that not to be an issue.
