Program 11 (pages 172-175) gives the "Placing Text Along an > Arbitrary Path" example, along with the generating code. In musing about PostScript I came across "Mathematical Illustrations" by Bill Casselman, http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/ and his example of text-on-a-path on page 3 of the preface, http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/pdf/preface.pdf. The technique is explicated in Appendix 7. --jkl
