Default Making Numerous Points

I am playing around with something and because of my "newbie" status, I can't think of an "elegant" way to perform the following:

Let's say I want a letter (extruded so it is "3D") made entirely out of "single-point polys". Assume the letter 'O'. I write the 'O', extrude it to give it depth, now I want the 'O' to turn into hundres of "single point polys" -- like it was filled with marbles.

Aside from fracturing, jittering, etc. is there an "elegant" way to do this? I can't "spray points" into the 'O' shape accurately, so is there any suggestions?

Thanks for listening.
