1) at the end of this file from the Adobe Cookbook is the comment:
% A PROBLEM FOR THE READER: This algorithm places characters
% along the path according to the origin of each character.
% Rewrite the algorithm so that the characters are placed
% according to the center of their width. This will yield
% better results around sharp curves and when larger point
% sizes are used.
Has anyone done such a version of pathtext.ps?
Where might it be found?
2) Another modification that would be useful is to pass in another
variable that would be the amount to position each character above or
below the path. This would allow one to set text along both sides of
a path, and have some white space between the strings.
Has anyone done this?
Where might it be found?
