Geometry and Texturing Text

I’m trying to create a Terminator like Title.

I’m having surfacing issues with it. The reason I posted here is because I know it’s because of the mesh.

The things I’ve tried. Working off Editable Text. Text to Mesh after lowering text resolution to 3. Remove Doubles. Tris to quads. Recalculate Normals.

Any ideas? Would be much appreciated! I run into this very often with curves to mesh objects. Here’s Blend file.

Thanks!

You’ll have to hand model the text
Converting text to mesh will always give you problems

This just popped up on Blender Nation http://www.blendernation.com/2012/02/08/remesh-modifier-sharp-mode/

I’ve often run into geometry issues I feel like this could help. Didn’t know about the Remesh Modifier. Woohoo solutions!
