Paul, I usually create the text in the 2d shaper, loft it with some thickness. In the 3d editor select the back vertices of the object, then in the front view move the vertices to the right and upwards a bit. Apply a darker material to these side faces and you'll get sort of a drop-shadow affect even viewed in an orthographic viewport.
