Convert text into shapes?

Is there a way to convert text into shapes? I've got some text in a symbol file that I'd rather not rely on the design file having the proper dimensions assigned to the text in order for it to show up properly. Seems to me, converting the text into shapes should solve that problem, but I can't find any way to do that.

Thanks,

Mark

Tracing the text as shapes is an option, but that just sounds awful, lol.

Agreed about the proprietary font. Which is why at the moment I shaped each letter with different text dimensions and I don't want to have to worry about the design having the many text dimensions set properly for each design.

There is a skill script for this. I don't know who owns it and the file doesn't give any indication of who wrote it...so here it is:
