I assume you mean when you extrude the spline into a polygon, yes?

As far as I know, short of cutting them in polymode yourself, there isn't a mode for adding polys to the front face of extruded text.

you could add an edit mesh modifier and cut them out yourself...

Turn on the "smoothing groups" option in the Meshsmooth rollout so that the meshsmooth modifier won't smooth across smoothing group boundaries. That way, it'll smooth the text without loosing the sharp edges, which is what I believe you're trying to achieve. Of course you mgiht not be, in which case this is no help to you :).
