You have to convert the text in illustrator, to curves. I think it is "Create outline" or something. No illustrator in front of me. Then you have to export it to a .eps file. Then in Softimage File > Import > EPS. You may have to save it as version 7 eps file for it to work if memory serves me right.

- export as .ai version 8 or earlier

- import into softimage
