in reply to CGI Text on a path -- Possible?

I don't think anybody has done exactly what you're looking for, but here is something that looks like a solid start:GD::Text::Arc.

While it's not what you're looking for, it is probably a solid start. If you manage to create code that will do Bezier paths the way GD::Text::Arc does arcs, please package it as a module and put it on CPAN. Pretty please?
