The "trick" is that the 0-100 default range of the bevel deformation grid is in UNITS, while it is easy to mistake it for a percentage. So, you have to examine your text shape's size and judge what would be a proper bevel , remembering that Bevel offsets its effect away from the original shape. Examining the tightest occurance within any of the characters will yield the correct size for the entire string. – Phil p.s. It's easy to get Bevel wrong in the begining <g>.
