Summary description: typesetting text along a path with the help of LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
This MetaPost package provides macros to typeset text along a free path with the help of LaTeX, thereby preserving kerning and allowing for 8-bit input, e.g., accented characters. Changes: * Renamed macro textpathVar to textpathFont. * Added macro textpathRaw, that supports typesetting mathematical formulae along a path. * Added configuration variables textpathRepeat, textpathStretch, textpathHSpace, textpathShift, textpathFancyStrokes, textpathStrokePrecision, textpathCureSqrt. * Added more documentation and examples.
This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/textpath . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=textpath (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
