You want to use a topping to prevent the letters sinking down into the felt. It is a clear product usually just tear away from the letters. I use tweezers to get any small pieces. It’s water solvable too. I don’t know if you want to wet felt. It may stain.
You may want to stitch out the letters on a sample first. Try them for size. I like about an inch for stockings but it can depend on name.
Can you ask for pictures of the stocking? Who is the stocking for?
The font would depend on the stocking style. Rustic, elegant, or child would take different ones.
PS There are usually local shops that can accommodate small projects. Font samples and color selection would be quick and easy for your friend.
