last i post a wireframe of the first image, i think that the strange triangle near the smmothed corner generate from the messed faces that lies in the mesh.... :

if you read the sud d thread its all about spiting the mesh at the corners correctly.
i would booleen the text out of a flat box, then select the front face, extrude it out, then bevel it, then extrude a smaller amount then bevel again. This creates a nice curve with only two poly radius. Then change your smoothing groups. Using mesh smooth in this case is probably not worth it, its going to create more polys than you will ever need on a small object.

you don't try to use the boolean substraction with two densed meshes?

to get nice smooth edges when mesh smooth is used you need to do this:

booleen cant do this, you would have to add all the polys where needed.
