text offset

[MeGuinness]

hi guys , is there a way to offset text ? i created the letters and then used the extruder command...cut..so to have the letters embossed to a surface,  now i need to create the same letters but 4 mm thick that need to be snapped in on the surface embossed slots, i need to reduce the size slightly so the fit in the slots ...im able to offset anything that i created using LINES or Circle but not the letters . any help appreciated. thanx

Use Seants text to geom. or TXTEXP a built in explode text. 

TXTEXP Arial bold with a Oblique of 10. Then pedit multi, then extrude.
