Hello, Monica:
You need to use a actual font that produces keycap-type letters instead
of trying t create a small piece of art. I know that Adobe offers such
a font although I can't put my hands on it right now. The name is
something like "Keycap" or "Keyboard Cap." You can browse through their
fonts at www.adobe.com or at www.imageclub.com/store. Call Image Club
at 800-661-9410.
If you need these today, you can actually buy the fonts and download
them in a few minutes.
Regards, Peggy Schillinger
