I`ve always had a problem with Beveling Text, and never found out how to
do it correctly, until now. as I need too..

Heres what I`ve done.  using quad polys/single sided.

    1.  Type 'S' character using "Maverick" font
    2.  Extruded it by 250mm
    3.  Beveled using shift & inset to 5mm

This works great on text thats straight, like "A", "I" etc.. but characters
with curves give big problems, I seem to have sharp triangular edges on the
curves of the "S".

Is there a method I should use ?  (I`ve read page 40 in Modeller on the
bevel command) but still no sucess.
