Error while trying to use Curve Modifier - Cannot apply modifier for this object type

Question

I was trying to use a curve modifier on some text. Everything works fine until I try to apply the modifier. I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong. Can someone be kind enough and give it a quick look please.

You need to convert the text to a Mesh object.

Object -> Convert to -> Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text

The problem is there are vertical edges missing. Two options: 1) Make straight letters moved by equal distance from center 2) If curved letters is what you need - you need to create a surface, divide it couple of times, than create letters, convert text from curves to mesh. Project mesh letters on a surface. Cut out the rest (faces), than apply curve modifier.
