* Text-to-path
* Select, from path and invert selection (ie select outside of text)
* On a white layer, G-A-P (FG-to-BG, using the default Black/White)
* Lighting effect, using above layer as bump map

Mind blown! I've been searching for various ways to create home-made gradient maps, and re-read this last post and quite by accident, discovered a new way to make 3D text, following your above instructions to a T with ONE difference: after you create the inverted selection, move the saved path just slightly lower and diagonally from the selection, using the path to select GAP and you get results like this.
