After adding the text, select Project and choose the face you wish to project it onto and then change the setting in the image to Edges. That should work.

If the Edges setting isn’t available, you may have to move the text off the surface before you project it.

hello,  
Please set the projection type to _edges_. According to the screenshots, the projected result is a sketch.

It may also happen that the sketch covers the edges. What happens if you try to select the letters in Visualization? You should be able to select the enclosed faces, but the projected edges will not be shown with a thick line.
