I think you just need to move into poly apps. Just about ALL of them just do chisel text naturally...
Heightmap route wont give you very crisp results and i believe you would run into the same thing. Parts will be hard to achieve. Just look at a capital N in the times new roman and look at michaels solution against it...
You could make an attempt as frenchy said and take a month to model every charactor of the times new roman uoper and lower case.
Hi,
It's possible in Moi using sweep but requires splitting profile into sections and in some cases extending them.
Trimming is tricky but I used Michael's FlowExtendSurf script in places to help with this.
Cheers

For MoI serif font Times New Roman, used the sweep technique with two 45 degree lines, for D and R. Manual trimming required. Did C with Merge. The 3d letters look good.

Cheers chaps will take a look at some of these routes but not likely to dive into fusion at moment.
Unless it's easy to get a finished result...
@Brian- I presume setting the 45degree line at a length greater than the widest 'stroke width'
of the letters should cover most shapes and mean minimum extensions required....
Btw...i also challenged a friend (autocad expert user)
with these but he was not confident he could do any faster.
Work in progress!
