"picname" (episode name) generator

I have a multiple-episode .wad with no episode picnames, so GZDoom generates them automatically. However, it doesn't differentiate capital and small letters, and thus the names look slightly different than the official episodes and even take less horizontal space, making it all look pretty bad. So I tried to find a picname generator and include that pic in .wad, using the standing Doom low-res menu font, but I couldn't find anything like that. I'm using SLADE. So how do I generate an episode picname from plain text?

If you include Jimmy's DBigFont Upper font from his official font resource thread, the episodes menu will respect upper/lowercase letters. (It'll also affect HUD messages and the like.)

It replaced options and messages fonts, but episode titles are still all lowercase. I double-checked MAPINFO and they are indeed capitalized properly there.

Now that I've tried Jimmy's Doom 93 font, it changed only the episode names, but not anything else (no menu or messages). What gives? If that helps, I'm trying to pretty-up episode names in "The Lost Episodes of Doom v2" mod ( JM2-1.wad ). I'm loading it after "doom2.wad".
