It can certainly be done, in various ways (including pic, and
PostScript tricks). However, there can be complications of detail to
get it to look nice (e.g. when using fonts which are not
constant-width).
At the moment I'm too short of time to write a proper account, but
will produce something later this weekend.
Thank you Ted,
I don't particularly care if the solution requires a bit of trial and
error in order to "get it to look nice" -- I'll regard it as a
necessary self-flagellation penance for putting text along curves,
instead of along straight lines where it belongs.
But proportional fonts would be nice. :-)
Why can't they make square CDs? Ooppss, I think you could once get
rectangular ones. :-)
Cheers and thanks,
Robert
