Okay, another issue with this font - it doesn't explode with DataCAD's 3D Explode menu. So, in the end, I just traced the image, which was easy enough. The B is the trickiest bit.
Looks like because there is a corresponding SHX version of the font in the Datacad Font folder, even though you probably turned off SHX fonts, you have to re-select the TTF from the Font Name drop down again in order to get it to select/use the TTF. I think it's a small glitch with the logic for the check boxes and drop downs. Mine did the same thing until I re-selected the TTF version of the font after the SHX check box was unchecked.

Okay, thanks for that, Josh. Not a big issue - I was trying to do it quick and dirty, but in the end, tracing was the easiest way. Which I had to do for the M logo, anyway.
Hi Neil,
If you can get something on your screen (WYSIWIG) for logos, etc., I use a quick screen capture, port it off into a .jpg (or .pdf) and import it as a bitmap. If you need to rotate it, then you have to prep the image accordingly or take it into a separate file and import as x-ref, clip and rotate.
FWIW,
Chris

Inkscape is another option - it can trace a bitmap or pixel art. Another option for a PDF to DWG converter is if you have (or can get) DrawPlus X8 it imports and exports. You'll need a valid product key for DrawPlus.
