Just tried that and it seems to just break the letter up in type format anything else I should be doing?

(windows)
Ctrl+b or right click on the text and Break Apart (2 times)then select the text that is shape
and so to the Color Mixer panel and select from the drop down menu Linear or Radial...Good Luck

why don't you make the layer with text on it into a mask and have the gradient as a shape under the mask?
breaking up the text adds to the file size and if you need it edit the text you have to start the process from the beginning.
