I'm not sure what is going on. I can't get a gradient to show inside of text. It simply turns the text black. Any ideas?

...you have to add another "new" fill to text and then apply a gradient...

...this is done in the appearance palette flyout menu, the arrow top right of palette...

...you can't apply it to the base characters...

...so, to be clear, you essentially have the basic "base" character color, then layer on top a "new" fill using the appearance palette, and changing that new fill to a gradient...
