Heirloom troff has a .pshape request for that. But you need to set the indents and line lengths "by hand" (could be computed by a simple perl (or whatever) script). Text in a cricle is also shown in the book "Text Processing and Typesetting With Unix" by D. W. Barron, Mike Rees. But I think the source code is not include, I'm not sure if they included a link to the source code (nroff had been used in this example). Carsten
