Text isn't composed of polylines???

I have a drawing that has two layers, "0" for the main design and "Etchings" for lines, etc and text to be scribed on the face of the object.  The text was created with Mtext and the text is to be scribed onto the metal face.  The laser cutting shop came back to me with:  "The text wasn't showing up because it wasn't composed of polylines which is what our lasers need to see to make cuts."

Does this make any sense?  I didn't see anything in the manual about text being polylines.  I'm pretty new to all this so can someone tell me how to make text as polylines (to comply with the shop needs).  
Thanks,
Larry
