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.
