Filling Text with a Bitmap

[Badkitty]

I have two typed letters that I want to fill with a bitmap. How is this done?

 

[carlow]

Place the bitmap in Illustrator, convert your letters to outline, see that your letters are filled with none and placed on top of the bitmap.
Select the bitmap and the letters and use object, clipping mask, make.
Voilà. that's it
