Our office updated our logo and we are revampling everything with our drawings. Even though I told them it isn't possible to create text that distributes to a fixed width, they insisted on using this formatting on a few pieces of text in our titleblock. 

I created the text in illustrator, created outlines of the text, and exported it as a .dwg. It looks fine in autocad, but suprise suprise it breaks when imported into revit. Aparently some of the letters contain splines and that is what breaks down in revit. 

I know importing CAD text into revit is a bad idea. But I need a solution to make this work somehow. 

I've even tried using a jpg of the areas of text that break, and they look super fuzzy when you print, even though they are a 1-1 on the size.

Why not make an image of this and insert that?

That is what I did, but there is artifacting that happens when you print the part of the title block that is an image. Is there any other solution?

I have never had artifacting problems using an image in a titleblock.  Something in your process needs to be changed.
