You mean only one line instead of a contour ? I think this is not an easy task but I guess some algorithm exist. However a simpler thing would be to have a font which is just a center line. I started to search and find this one fontspace.com/resamitz-sl-font-f63563 and it doesn't work, but in fact any very thin font does the trick.

templatemaker.nl/singlelinetext/ is a work around way baut limited with few fonts...

Yo can just use a stroke material for the converted text and, in edit mode, use Toggle Cyclic (Stroke menu) to open the closed shape. That way the Build Modifier should work better
