I found your posting on the Type Primer very interesting. Particularly the area written on texture. I understand what the author was saying about how typograhy can be seen or is related to texture. I definitely agree as I have seen some posters using type as a background, level the text as an element of the design.
I think the best way to make letters look as texture is when they are used at a high volume or in a manner where the text is packed up and arranged. I've seen some typography used so heavily it almost looks like a close up of a fabric of some sort. The AIGA Portfolio day poster has a heavy ude of typography. The whacky letter arrangements give the poster a textured feel.
